George Mace Pioneer of Yellowstone Salley Story
George Mace, adventurer who crossed to the west in his youth, settled the Yellowstone river valley in 1882 near Forsyth after mining in the west and prospecting in the Big Horn. He faced Indian raids, horse thefts, and harsh winters, helped by settlers who guarded stock and cut wood for riverboats. The piece recalls Mace’s life from New York youth to Montana homesteader amid late 19th century frontier challenges.
