Smuggling Whiskey to Indians on the Upper Missouri
In the mid 1800s river folk ran whiskey upriver to trade with Indigenous communities despite regulations. Audubon aided a search, whiskey moved by car through a steamer hold, and later Captain LaBarge and Captain Sires hid liquor in flour barrels on the Nimrod despite Bellevue inspections.

Glendale Montana Ghost Town and Hecla Mining Legacy
Glendale once a prosperous mining hub in Beaverhead county near Melrose grew around the Trapper lode and the Hecla mining operations. The town boasted a 950 population in 1878, a 10 stamp mill, smelter, shops, hotels, churches and two lodges, but by 1886 the Glendale smelter closed and only ore extraction continued at nearby mines amid slag heaps and fading fortune.
