Western Press Writer and General Pershing Aide Founders
A Great Falls editor and West Point classmate of General Pershing, L H Gross, rose from Army service to journalism. His career spanned Rocky Mountain News and several Colorado papers before editing Montana outlets including the Billings Daily Gazette, Miles City American, and the Billings Tribune and Journal. He later moved to Great Falls, shaping regional opinion while keeping his military past largely private. He is noted as a capable promoter of western monuments and pioneer histories, with colleagues documenting his life and the era of western expansion.
