The Reid and Davis Gangs of Montana <BR> (Part 1)
It was already 20 years into the new century. But in the small towns of Montana, North Dakota, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, some small time hoods didn't realize that the Wild, Wild West was over.

The Reid and Davis Gangs of Montana <BR> (Part 2)
Though I described the outlaws as being "of Montana" they obviously committed many crimes elsewhere too. Their headquarters was in North Dakota, so they made it a point never to rob anything there. They must have rivaled the James gang in the sheer number of jobs and the large amount of profit. They were probably one of the few "wild west" outfits that had benefit of automobiles to make their getaways.

Norwegian-style knitting is fast becoming an elite and specialized craft in the changing face of industry and leisure. As more and more sweaters are produced by machines, fewer people bother to learn the art of knitting, much less find the time to create the durable masterpieces made in their grandparents&#8217; generation. In honor of this remarkable tradition, I spent an afternoon interviewing Vivian (64), a talented and prolific Norwegian knitter, about her experiences in the craft. In fact, she knit as we chatted.
