Meet Brenda
Brenda Wahler is a fourth-generation Montanan who digs into the history of the American West, uncovering the deeper stories that separate truth from legend. Her work blends meticulous documentation with engaging storytelling as she studies cantankerous characters from conmen to countesses.
An attorney, independent historian, and former teacher, Brenda applies legal rigor to historic scholarship, focusing on accuracy, context, and credible sourcing. Marcus Daly’s Road to Montana and Marcus Daly’s Montana Empires, her riveting two‑volume biography of Montana's famed Copper King, is the first comprehensive profile of Daly in over 70 years, presenting a compelling, authoritative portrait of his complicated life and legacy.
Brenda is also a lifelong horsewoman and "student of the horse" who pairs lived equestrian experience with careful research. Her first book, Montana Horse Racing: A History, is a lively examination of Montana’s equestrian legacy from the Eocene epoch to the present.
Brenda's talks are dynamic, engaging, and tech-savvy, honed by the courtroom, the classroom—and a stint as a college radio DJ!
