Wheelbarrow trek across the Montana gold fields

Michael L. Geary, pioneer of Alder and Emigrant gulches, died in Helena at 79. The narrative recalls a 150 mile wheelbarrow journey from Virginia City to Emigrant gulch and back, two companions, and a third who pulled and pushed the barrow along with makeshift harnesses. He plus two others traveled by wheelbarrow when no horses were available, then later joined Bear creek stampede efforts and other camps. Geary’s life spanned mining, ranching, and farming across multiple Montana camps from 1864 to 1878 and beyond.
