“Out of town I could simply be, I could feel my self, firm and calm and unmalleable as I could not when I was in school or in any of the usual human communities that seemed to weaken or scatter me.

I was an inward child, it was true, but beyond that, I felt a contentment outside human society that I couldn’t feel within it.”
― Larry Watson, Montana 1948

“Joe the storyteller was remembered at the Swan for a long, long time. And though eventually there came a day when the man himself was forgotten, his stories lived on.”
