The Ballad of John Bonan

The Ballad of John Bonan “The Ballad of John Bonan” is a music video honoring the life of John Bonan, a friend and resident of the historic Montana ghost town of Elkhorn, Montana. John lived in his grandfather’s cabin, a structure built in the late 1800s, and considered himself a guardian of Elkhorn’s history. He often described himself as a mountain man, living a life connected to the land, the mountains, animals and the traditions of the old West. John Bonan remained in Elkhorn until his passing in 2021. His remarkable life and connection to this historic mining town are also featured in the film “The Last Stop: Elkhorn, Montana,” created by filmmaker Doug Chester. This music video is a tribute to John’s story, his spirit, and the legacy he left behind in Elkhorn. Produced by [email protected] Doug Chester
