Based on the hand-written memoir of Fred Van Blaricom, this true story recounts a life of hardship and hope in the Montana Territory during the late 1800’s. Told in Fred’s affable voice and rich with historical detail, this is a coming-of-age story packed with adventures and grounded in the remarkable lives of the earliest homesteaders-men and women- of the Lower Yellowstone. Fred’s was a life of struggle against many obstacles, but he overcame them or abided them with no complaint. As he himself put it: “The hero was throwed, but the horse was tamed.”
