Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-24 00:00:00 Heather Martz Perhaps the name Mel Ruder doesn't just slip off the tongue of every Montanan but it should. Named one of the 100 most influential Montanans of the century, Mel Ruder built a tiny small town newspaper into a Pulitzer prize winner. This book gives a sampling of Mr. Ruder's editorials, photographs and the biography of the man behind the scenes. It also captures a feel for Montana in the 1940's through the '60's.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-23 00:00:00 John Cutajar Very interesting book written by the man who was his neighbor in the Montana woods. Invaluable material if you are interested in True Crime and High profile cases. The author however seems to be completely naïve in that it seems impossible he did not link up Ted's bazaar anti social behavior with the strange events in the surrounding area .You will see from this book that Ted was not the lay low non entity you might think he would have to be to remain invisible for so many decades. He seems to have committed massive vandalizing crimes at logging sites and construction equipment and robbing and trashing cabins near the property . Even fired on low flying military aircraft with his rifle during the years he was also sending out bombs in the mail. As a plus There is a lot of information Not only on the FBI's mission to infiltrate the Montana woods and gather info but also on The Unabomber's Cabin, His Hand made Bicycle ,His Hidden Caches.and how he survived alone .
