An Ornery Bunch
by Writers' Program of the Work Projects Administration
Some of Montana's first pioneers recorded these outrageous and often hilarious tales covering everything from a poker-playing magpie to the accepted cure for a greedy hunter. Between 1935 and 1942, the field workers for the Montana Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), conducted oral history interviews and researched folklore for a Montana folklore publication. The United States entered into World War II, and the WPA dissolved before Montana's efforts on folklore could be published. Now, finally putting the best of the Montana WPA folklore collection in print, An Ornery Bunch presents tales and anecdotes compiled from the immense archives of the Montana's Writers' Project. Enjoy pioneer yarns from section headings such as Curious Animals; Tall Tales; Tales of True Westerners; Under the Influence: Prospector's Play; Mother Nature's Winter Wrath; Unnatural Tales; Pokes, Punchers, Herders, the Range, and Their Critters; Fun with Tenderfoots; and Practices and Remedies. Read about beer rustling in Butte, horses so fast they can outran a storm, winters so cold they'll freeze your shadow to the ground, and the touching first meeting of Brother Van and Kid Curry. Every Westerner with a sense of humor and heritage and folklorists everywhere must add this book to their collection. A U.S. Government agency born out of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal administration, the WPA was created in an effort to provide gainful employment to many workers who lost their jobs during the Great Depression. The WPA sponsored many labor-intensive projects such as the construction of Montana's Fort Peck Dam -- jobs that put blue-collar laborers to work. The Federal Writers'Project division of the WPA was conceptualized to offer opportunities to use the skills of white-collar workers who had some writing ability, as well as the polished skills of professional writers.
