Gun-loving legacy

Pleasant Valley rancher Austin Monk left behind more than 100 guns when he died in 2005, including 21 historic Sharps rifles such as this one. Monk’s daughter, Janet, has written about his gun collection in a new book, “Sharps Rifles of Montana: The Austin Monk Collection,” which she will  debut Thursday at the gun show at the Flathead County Fairgrounds. Monk’s Sharps rifles will also be on display at the show.
