Events

We’re beyond excited to welcome Montana’s own (and our dear friend) Russell Rowland to Isle of Books on Friday, March 28th at 6:30 PM!

Russell will be sharing stories from his newest book BE A MAN: Raised in the Shadow of Cowboys – a heartfelt memoir about growing up in the West and navigating what masculinity means when you’re surrounded by men of few words.

You might already know Russell as the talented author behind eight books, including the beloved Fifty-Six Counties and the critically-acclaimed Arbuckle trilogy. He’s been capturing Montana’s spirit and stories for years, and we’re thrilled to have him stop by for this special evening.

The details:

  • When: Friday, March 28th, 2025, 6:30 PM
  • Where: Isle of Books, 511 W. Mendenhall, Bozeman
  • What else: Snacks and refreshments (because books and snacks go together perfectly!)

This is sure to be a beautiful and interesting night of stories, conversation, and community. Russell’s down-to-earth approach and honest storytelling always make for memorable events, and we can’t wait to share this evening with you all.

Bring your friends, bring your questions, and lets explore unspoken codes of western masculinity together.
