Lesser Keun But Important Point in History
Ames A Garfield traveled to Montana in 1872 to persuade the Flathead, a Selish group, to move from Bitterroot Valley to a new reservation. The mission stemmed from the 1855 Stevens treaty and Grant's 1871 order, aiming to avoid violence while addressing frontier pressures. Garfield studied Lewis and Clark and related journeys before his expedition.
