A Culture of Courage spans three decades in the life of a young Sioux boy as he grows to manhood during the turbulent times of 19th century Montana. From the simple years of the 1840's through the complicated Indian wars of the 1870's, his faith and courage remain undaunted. As the world around him seems to fall apart, he is forced to make life-changing decisions for which there are no good choices. The struggle culminates at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. "Redmon writes with a sense of place for the Rocky Mountain West, a sense of affection for the people of his story, and a sense of wisdom drawn from his own life experiences. Readers young and old will find many reasons to appreciate this story." - Michael Punke, Author of New York Times #1 Bestseller, The Revenant "With empathy, Redmon weaves the details of Plains Indians' life and customs throughout the adventures of Knows No Fear, enabling the reader to learn and appreciate the Native American's vanishing world as seen from their perspective. My late husband Harvey Rattey, a descendant of the Métis, would have approved of the authenticity of the story. A Culture of Courage would be an excellent read for students studying the history of Montana's Native Americans and will appeal to young people and adults as well. It is amazing!" - Pamela Harr-Rattey; Artist, sculptor, writer, and author of Deeper Than Memory

Sitting at the kitchen tables of twelve women in their eighties who were born in or immigrated to Montana in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, between 1982 and 1988 oral historian Donna Gray conducted interviews that reveal a rich heritage. In retelling their life stories, Gray steps aside and allows theses women with supposedly “nothing to tell” to speak for themselves. Pride, nostalgia, and triumph fill a dozen hearts as they realize how remarkable their lives have been and wonder how they did it all. Some of these women grew up in Montana in one-bedroom houses; others traveled in covered wagons before finding a home and falling in love with Montana. These raw accounts bring to life the childhood memories and adulthood experiences of ranch wives who were not afraid to milk a cow or bake in a wooden stove. From raising poultry to raising a family, these women knew the meaning of hard work. Several faced the hardships of family illness, poverty, and early widowhood. Through it all, they were known for their good sense of humor and strong sense of self.
