Mary Clearman Blew grew up in Montana's eastern center, far from town on the farm her grandparents claimed as homestead. As children do in many small communities, she found among the few books on her library shelves the stories set nearby—in her case the books of Mildred Walker and Will James. She also heard the family stories. Blew lived in Montana for nearly fifty years, teaching and administering in the state's schools and colleges, before she moved to Lewiston, Idaho to teach writing and then to the University of Idaho to join its writing faculty.
