Before Meriwether Lewis saw the Great Falls of the Missouri River in 1805, the area had been visited for centuries by plains bison and the Blackfeet Indians. The city's founding father, Paris Gibson, learned of the falls from Lewis and Clark's journals, and with financing from railroader James J. Hill, Gibson began building the city of Great Falls in 1884, capitalizing on its Missouri River location. After the railroad arrived, the first of five hydroelectric dams was built, along with smelters for silver and copper. The year 1909 saw the homestead boom and settlers by the thousands, while World War II's construction boom supported large military facilities in the city. Great Falls' good times lasted 90 years.

"Colton lay in silence amid the serenity of the forest as the morning sun peered through the clouds. The weather was chilly, but not enough for him to worry that his breath would fog the air and give his position away. As he waited, Colton reflected that he would be changing the lives of at least a half-dozen people, including his own, forever. He adjusted the crosshairs of the scope and began to squeeze the trigger." Colton Wylde is a small town business man, a respected member of his community and a patriot. When his friend, a local congressman, warns him of an insidious plot to fundamentally alter the country and rewrite the constitution, Colton knows he must act. The stakes are raised dramatically when the congressman turns up dead. Colton and his trusted friends take up arms to avenge the death of the congressman, defend freedom and save the republic. In our politically correct times where many are afraid to stand up for America, The Last Countrymen is a story about men who pledged their lives, reputations and sacred honor to defend a nation worth dying for.
