Pioneer fur traders and miners relinquit Montana to cattle industry

The author traces three stages in Montana history: fur trade with traders and Indians, then mining driven by gold discoveries, and finally the rise of cowboys linked to beef packing and ranching. It notes how ranchers and homesteaders ultimately shaped the territory, with cattlemen gaining control of water access and land as they expanded north.

Pioneer Blacksmith LePage’s Frontier Stage Tales from Montana

The Montana frontier life story recalls Charles LePage, an 87 year old blacksmith who shod horses for stagecoaches along the Miles City to Bozeman run. He recounts 1881 holdups, stampedes, and outlaw encounters, buffalo sawyers, fordings of the Tongue river, and the shift from open range to settlement. He details beartooth hunts, encounters with hunters, beaming of buffalo herds, and the rise of civilization ending the stage and freighting era.
