Pierre Wibaux Cattle King of Eastern Montana
In 1883 Pierre Wibaux arrived in eastern Montana and built an empire of grass spanning as many as 100000 head of stock. He established the Wibaux ranch near Beaver Creek and became a social and financial leader, while Mingusville grew from his era of western enterprise and fleeting towns. Roosevelt visited nearby Mingusville, and Wibaux rebuilt after the 1886 87 blizzard, returning with a thriving herd and new branding ventures.
