Nelson Story’s epic cattle drive to Montana and return
Nelson Story was among the first to drive cattle into Montana. The narrative recalls his 1830s march from Fort Phil Kearney to Virginia City with a wagon train of groceries, facing 3,000 armed Reds and a 27-man guard, and his reunion with his wife upon reaching Virginia City. The feat, four years before another trail herd crossed the Powder river country, is celebrated as one of the West’s fabulous feats.
