Book Description
Great Falls, on the Missouri River, began as a city of sun, water, and future. Long a crossroads for Native Americans, in 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition portaged the great falls of the Missouri. Early development combined electrical power from dams with mineral resources from nearby mountains to power smelters and refineries. The railroad stimulated growth as Great Falls became a dynamic "Electric City" at the heart of the mountains and valleys of Cascade County. Today the river, ranching and farming, regional retail, and medical facilities combine with cultural and recreational tourism and Montana's largest military presence. Great Falls boasts Montana's greatest ethnic diversity, with the state's largest Native American and African American populations. A world-class symphony and the renowned Charles M. Russell Museum help round out Great Falls as Montana's "All-American City."

Book Description
Before Meriwether Lewis saw the Great Falls of the Missouri River in 1805, the area had been visited for centuries by plains bison and the Blackfeet Indians. The city's founding father, Paris Gibson, learned of the falls from Lewis and Clark's journals, and with financing from railroader James J. Hill, Gibson began building the city of Great Falls in 1884, capitalizing on its Missouri River location. After the railroad arrived, the first of five hydroelectric dams was built, along with smelters for silver and copper. The year 1909 saw the homestead boom and settlers by the thousands, while World War II's construction boom supported large military facilities in the city. Great Falls' good times lasted 90 years.

Book Description
Great Falls is a small city of 60,000 people on the prairies of central Montana. It was built on the Missouri River near a series of waterfalls to take advantage of the potential for hydroelectric power. That same potential, along with some friendly arm twisting brought the railroad lines connecting the city with east and west coast markets. Today people call Great Falls many things ranging from a dying place because it is not keeping pace with the faster growing cities of the state to a quiet place with moderate planned growth. Everyone seems to see this place differently, and they are all right to some degree. I call it home. I have lived here through the good times and the economically tough days. I have never looked elsewhere to live simply because this is my home and where I want to be. This book is how I see my Great Falls. I start with a brief history of my town then follow with photos that give a snapshot of what I see during various seasons as I walk about town. In some respects Great Falls is like most other cities but other things make it unique. It is all in the eye of the beholder. This book is how I see it.
