Synopsis
In the middle of the Great Depression, Montana native Julia Bennett arrived in New York City with no money and an audacious business plan: to identify and visit easterners who could afford to spend their summers at her brand new dude ranch near Ennis, Montana. Julia, a big-game hunter whom friends described as a clever shot with both rifle and shotgun, flouted gender conventions to build guest ranches in Montana and Arizona that attracted world-renowned entertainers and artists.Bennetts entrepreneurship, however, was not a new family development. During the Civil War, her widowed grandmother and her seven-year-old daughterBennetts motherset out from Missouri on a ten-month journey with little more than a yoke of oxen, a covered wagon, and the clothes on their backs. They faced countless heartbreaks and obstacles as they struggled to build a new life in the Montana Territory.Burning the Breeze is the story of three generations of women and their intrepid efforts to succeed in the American West.
