A chronologically detailed account of the founding of Makoshika, Montana’s largest state park, and how almost single-handedly Dr. R. W. Hiatt, a true renaissance man, cradled Makoshika from its fragile beginning to its maturity as a state park. Through his meticulous record-keeping, the rich historical details of Makoshika Park come to life. Greg is a boy thirty years younger than his optometrist, Dr. Hiatt, and they form an inseparable bond. The youthful adventures of Greg weave in and out of the unfolding story of Makoshika, taking the reader along for a look as the two souls, Greg and Doc, go about their interrelated lives.
