Stories Forged in the Heart of Montana

From the windswept plains to the shadowed mines of Butte, Montana, Poet Laureate Allen Morris Jones delivers a powerful collection of stories steeped in grit, memory, loss, and resilience. 

A Kind of Man gathers some of Jones’s finest short fiction—including a never-before-published novella set during the devastating 1917 Speculator Mine disaster.

Rich with unforgettable characters and a deep sense of place, these stories explore the changing American West and the people shaped by it.

·         Features a brand-new novella centered on the tragic 1917 Butte mining disaster

·         Explores Montana life across generations, landscapes, and eras

·         Written by Montana’s 2025–2027 Poet Laureate

·         Perfect for readers of literary fiction, Western fiction, and regional storytelling

·         Includes stories of ranch life, mining communities, identity, family, and survival

“Heartbreaking but sharp, light on its feet but utterly human.”
—Jamie Harrison, author of The River View

A compelling collection for readers drawn to literary Western fiction, Montana history, and character-driven stories that linger long after the final page.
