OverviewIn 1923, not long after oil had started gushing from northern Montana fields, real-estate sales in nearby Shelby were declining, dimming the little town s prospects of becoming the Tulsa of the West. Then the mayor s son dreamed up a marketing ploy: offer to host heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey s next fight. What began as a publicity stunt soon spiraled into a civic drama unlike any Montana had ever seen or ever would again. Shelby s Folly tells this story in full for the first time.
