A hundred-year-old collection of stunning vintage postcards is used to piece together the story of two Minnesota sisters who traveled overland to eastern Montana in the early 1900s. This unique book features dozens of the beautifully preserved postcards, and their messages reveal a powerful community of women who supported each other though all their travels and exploits. "Penny Post Cards and Prairie Flowers" is a once-in-a-generation book that shines a bright light on a little-known corner of Montana history. Author Philip Burgess' narrative displays a sharp understanding and deep compassion for the homesteading women and the challenges they faced in the early twentieth century. He celebrates their triumphs and mourns their tragedies as they attempt to carve new lives for themselves out of the harsh eastern Montana landscape. The postcards are transcribed in their entirety, and the breathtaking art is reproduced in high resolution throughout the book.

Philip J. Burgess lives in Missoula, Montana where he spends most of his time telling stories, daydreaming, and writing-and making frequent road trips back to his native hills in eastern Montana, where he has yet to fall off a horse. He has a book of poetry out entitled "Badlands Child" and a CD of stories and poetry entitled "Badlands Requiem."
