Fresh Oil and Loose Gravel: Road Poetry by Brian D'Ambrosio 1998-2008
Poetry pieced together to theorize the roiled character of life on the road, Fresh Oil and Loose Gravel: Road Poetry 1998-2008, is a testament to the personal upholding of distraught freedom and self-sacrifice, love and falsehood, misplacement and rebirth. This rugged presentation of road poetry expresses the loss and reemergence of honesty, generalities of defiance, innate fragility, heroic weakness, unmitigated arrogance, brazen, uncouth behavior, utmost kindness, inscrutable duality of the attraction of opposites, and the mushy struggle for self-betterment. With wit, humor, truculence, and adrenaline, Fresh Oil and Loose Gravel takes readers on arid avenues to self-renewal, to remote paths of sentimental victory, open skies to freedom, and to a world full of mystery, sojourns of suspense, and the mercurial fluidity of fresh oil and loose gravel.
Montana Murders
Award-winning Montana author Brian D'Ambrosio examines the most notorious murders in the state's history. Some are historical accounts from Montana's early Wild West history, but most are contemporary cases that shocked communities, investigators, and families. Many remain bafflingly unsolved. Some cases have been featured in national media, such as the famous and inexplicable murders of the parents of television's Patrick Duffy (Dallas) and the serial murders by the hermitic Unabomber. But D'Ambrosio also unearths gruesome, little known cold cases that haunt surviving families and friends to this day. Drawing on official investigative reports and numerous personal interviews with law enforcement officials, witnesses, and survivors, D'Ambrosio describes each murder like a good detective story. Readers will find riveting details about the murderers, their motives and methods, and their unfortunate victims. Includes 20 black and white photos.
Menacing Face Worth Millions: A Life of Charles Bronson
Menacing Face Worth Millions: A Life of Charles Bronson is the first definitive biography of legendary screen actor Charles Bronson. Charles Bronson was the silver screen legend who forever changed America's - and the world's - idea of the leading man's looks: a poverty-stricken young man who became one of the most popular, highly-paid film stars of his day.

In this definitive retelling of Bronson's life - the first fully documented biography of the star - Brian D'Ambrosio looks at the vigilante tough guy's life and legacy and explores the events and issues that made him emblematic of his time.
Warrior in the Ring
In the Golden Age of boxing, Marvin Camel—a mixed blood from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana—defied all obstacles of race, poverty, and geographical isolation to become the first Native American to win a world boxing title. Complex and wildly charismatic, Camel combined tremendous physical talent with staggering self-discipline—forged by the sting of his father’s belt—to claw his way to the top, twice winning world titles in the newly minted cruiserweight division and fighting on the same cards as boxing icons Roberto Duran, Larry Holmes, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Bob Foster. Camel’s journey was an amazing example of gritty determination: punishing runs on Montana’s bac...

For nearly a century, movies have been made in Montana. The state played itself in Cattle Queen of Montana, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Winter in the Blood, and the iconic A River Runs Through It, and it doubled for an Arctic ice pack in Firefox, Nebraska in Nebraska, the authentic Old West in Heaven’s Gate, and even heaven in What Dreams May Come. Montana’s Kootenai River swallowed up Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep in The River Wild, a stunt double for Leonardo DiCaprio tumbled down Kootenai Falls in The Revenant, and Forrest Gump ran through Glacier National Park. The city of Butte played itself in Evel Knievel, substituted for San Francisco’s Chinatown in Thousand Pieces ...
