Buck Buchanan is a well-known singer-songwriter based in Southwest Montana. He cut his chops on his family's ranch in Idaho before moving to West Yellowstone in the 1970s. That's also when he started the band Twang, a loved local group performing good ol' country music still today. Eventually moving to the Bozeman area, he taught middle school science for 22 years. From writing songs to writing stories, his ability to craft a tale is truly unique and something to enjoy with your kids in this book.
