Happy Birthday to Russell Rowland! 🎂
Montana’s own master of ranch-family drama, state-wide wanderings, and all things literary is celebrating another trip around the sun!

From the sweeping homesteader struggles of “Arbuckle” and “The Watershed Years” to the reflective road trip that is “Fifty-Six Counties”, Russell has a gift for digging into the heart of the West—and taking readers right along with him.

Here’s to more stories, more Montana miles, and many more candles on the cake. 🥳 Happy birthday, Russell!
