Courting Justice: More Montana Courthouse Tales Courting Justice is the second book of the Montana Courthouse Tales, Eric Olson s four-part series of stories from courthouses across the Big Sky State of Montana. Utilizing the imaginative story-telling model employed in the first volume in the series, 2014 s Courting Truth, this second book takes readers to an altogether different set of courthouses, beginning under the copper dome of Butte and ending in the Valley of the Star Gazer outside Thompson Falls. An all-new collection of courtroom tales, these are true stories of murder and corruption, libel and sedition, justice and injustice, narrated by a cast of unforgettable historical, ghostly, and inanimate characters. Blending contemporary, historical, and subjective accounts of documented court events, Olson walks the narrow tightrope of historical writing to reconfirm just how much our understanding of history is colored by myth and legend. Exhaustively researched from actual court records, newspaper accounts, historical journals, and personal interviews, Courting Justice is part travelogue, part cultural and social narrative, and part legal documentary. In short, it s fanciful storytelling at its best. "
