Reminiscences of Early Days in Miles City Montana
Joseph Miner, pioneer father, led his family from Kansas to Miles City Montana after a perilous trek and a rumor of Little Big Horn. His daughter Josephine Miner Decker recalls the 1880s town’s rough streets, log buildings, horse markets, and a makeshift fire brigade as Miles City grew from a rough frontier settlement into a bustling cattle hub.
