Former Montevidean Wayne Ostlie discusses with Dixie Tilden the new book entitled “Montevideo: 1860 to 1939, Through Their Eyes & In Their Words” that he co-authored with his brother Paul and fellow Montevidean Odell Bjerkness. The book captures the vibrancy of Montevideo’s early “boom town” years using vintage photographs and contemporary accounts. Ostlie was at the Montevideo-Chippewa County Public Library last Friday to discuss the book. (Staff photo by Judy Swenson)
