After a string of personal tragedies, twenty-four-year-old Doris Ashley left her Iowa farm one June day in 1925 and rode the train west to Glacier National Park. So began her love affair with the wild Grown of the Continent-the rugged mountains and the equally rugged people who lived and worked there, the bears and beaver and elk, rushing rivers full of trout, and fat, free-for-the-picking huckleberries. Two years later, after a stormy romance, Doris married the Cut Bank park ranger, Dan Huffine, and through the next 60 years, they forged a happy if hard-won life based on their own wits and surprisingly varied talents. This is Doris' story.
