MONTENEGRIN REVENGE IN THE WILD WEST COUNTRY Old American Western Stories usually are of Indian and Robbers so I was astounded when I found this item: “Revenge – Montenegrin Style,” by Grace Roffey Pratt. Simply put, an Austrian Count name of Stanislaus Felipowich and a Montenegrin native known as "the King" rounded up 1,000 natives of the Balkans and brought them to the wilds of America to a little town named Taft, Montana in 1907. Their job was to build a tunnel for the Northern Pacific Railway from St. Joe, Idaho and Taft, Montana. AND THEY DID! Folks, Evidently, the Montenegrins were in the majority. They brought to America their dress, habits, bedrolls called "turkeys" and all their quaint customs. Their leader called "the King" took care of all of their pay, banking their money, wrote their letters and looked after every one of his following. Unfortunately, others did not take lightly to the manner the Montenegrins were organized. When American supervisors were unhappy, the workers would go to "the King" and he was a very powerful advocate. Unfortunately, a foreman name of Reddy Hess decided he had enough and murdered "the King". The Montenegrins revolted as one could expect. After having given their fallen leader his due respect and burying him in the Taft, Montana Cemetery in the customary Greek Catholic rites, the crowd decided to take appropriate action. What they did and how they gained revenge -- Well, doggone it, I have run out of room and eCRATER says stop, so you will just have to get this rare story and read it for yourself as it appeared many years ago in an old western magazine: A TRUE AMERICAN - MONTENEGRO WESTERN STORY. OLD MONTENEGRO MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on eCRATER every day but the rarer ones like this one about immigrants from Montenegro in the strange Montana land never make it. Collectors get hold of them and will not let them go. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort.

It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that. My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the eCRATER entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
