An informal Truchot family history, being a collection of stories and anecdotes about members of the family and their frontier lives in Montana and the Northwest between 1824-1898.

The author, Theresa Truchot (1891-1980), was a local historian who lived in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She filled many notebooks with family reminiscences and research, which became the source of this collected volume of stories about her husband's pioneering family, the Truchots, and their life in Choteau, Montana and other places in the Pacific Northwest. The title of the book, Chips, comes from the idea that the descendants of the family were 'chips off the old block,' with several 'old blocks' to derive from and take after. Each chapter connects her husband and his generation of the family to figures in previous generations.

Her husband's grandfathers, Pierre Chrysologue Pambrum (1792-1841) and Samuel Black, were both chief factors with the Hudson's Bay Company, serving at Fort Walla Walla and with the Columbia District, respectively.
