Summary Learn how Anaconda's eastside became known as Goosetown through personal accounts of the town's citizens and through historic black-and-white photographs. Finnegan, with the help of others, interviewed many of Goosetown's residents and recorded their interviews, thus preserving an oral history for generations to come. Now, thanks to Goosetown In Their Own Words 1900-1945, that oral history is documented and detailed in writing. From how the name Goosetown was created to the entertainment, sports, and recreation at the time, to historic events and even the prohibition it's all chronicled and captured in writing by Finnegan.
