Southeastern Montana

In no sense is this historical book to be considered a complete history of the town of Plevna. As the years have passed by, so too, many people have departed; those who so enthusiastically built up and invested their lives in Plevna. To both the living and the dead, we give tribute.

We are grateful to all who shared with us stories, information, and pictures of those bygone days. You have provided us with that which makes this book possible. We are especially indebted for the use of Plevna's 50th Anniversary Book of 1959, which we have tried to complement.

We sincerely hope that you will accept our apologies for errors. We have recorded facts and information as it was given to us, and it may differ to some small degree from that which actually may have been.

Thank you to each one who spent time and effort to make this book available to its readers, and may its readers derive many hours of pleasure from it.
