Libby, the “City of Eagles.” A town in extreme northwest Montana surrounded by more than two million acres of wilderness. It lies along the turquoise waters of the Kootenai River surrounded by pristine streams and lakes. When Doc Conrad Lindstrom brings his family to Libby, the lumber mill and the vermiculite mine are thriving industries. His wife Anna plays the small pump organ at church. His older son, Nicholas, builds model ships and makes his own exquisite fishing flies. Younger son, Trygve, debates his future: he’s struggling to decide: poet laureate, or maybe an entomologist. At age six, Tryg races into the family cabin, pursued by a horde of angry wasps. His mother screams. Sherlock, the family basset howls and hides under the bed. Conrad starts swinging a broom. Chaos reigns. Or as Conrad says, “Just a typical Saturday night.” Tryg age 10, catches (and loses) a monster brown trout on the Madison River. He goes on his first (and last) elk hunt at age 12 and officially becomes a man after completing Libby’s unique rite of passage. At 18 he and best friend Otto challenge Jennings Rapids in the family’s tiny 12-foot boat. Meet a few of Libby’s “dear hearts and gentle people” in Trygve Lindstrom: Tales from Libby, Montana.
