About this listen
A chronologically detailed account of the founding of Makoshika, Montana’s largest state park, and how almost single-handedly Dr. R. W. Hiatt, a true renaissance man, cradled Makoshika from its fragile beginning to its maturity as a state park. Through his meticulous record-keeping, the rich historical details of Makoshika Park come to life. Greg is a boy thirty years younger than his optometrist, Dr. Hiatt, and they form an inseparable bond. The youthful adventures of Greg weave in and out of the unfolding story of Makoshika, taking the reader along for a look as the two souls, Greg and Doc, go about their interrelated lives.

They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

Story
Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings the characters who show up are no fictional creations. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that’s enough), and some appear again and again. But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.

Story
Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

Heartwarming Friendship and Historical Detail
This book offers a wonderful mixture of history and personal connection. The detailed journey of Dr. Hiatt and the founding of Makoshika State Park is fascinating, but what makes it even more enjoyable is the bond between Greg and Doc. The 30-year age gap melts away as the two navigate life together in the backdrop of Montana’s majestic landscape. The book's historical richness is elevated by the deeply human element of friendship. A must-read for anyone interested in the origins of state parks or stories of meaningful, cross-generational relationships.
