Who had the fastest gun, or the fastest pen maybe? Who was the best Western story teller? Would you believe me if I told you the best in the West was a woman from Whitefish, Montana named Dorothy M. Johnson?
In 1959, Montana born movie star Gary Cooper wrote an article for Ebony Magazine about Mary Fields. He said of her, “Born a slave somewhere in Tennessee, Mary lived to become one of the freest souls ever to draw breath, or a .38.”
Our Mission:The Missoula Underground is a hyper-local blog about the best the Missoula area has to offer: food/beverages, music, events, activities, local people and business.
Hyper-local means we don’t write about anything that isn't owned or locally managed or operated in the Missoula area. No corporate chains or businesses operated by investment groups from out of Montana.
We have a growing all-volunteer team of bloggers and contributors. We’re here because we care about our beloved Missoula area and want to showcase the best of what's here and what we love to do.
When you share our articles, you become part of a force for good in and around Missoula.
Thanks for reading and participating in The MUG.
