Old-Time Cowboys Rarely Sing Even at Gatherings

Pete Snelson notes that true old-time cowhands rarely sing, unlike townsfolk who know songs well. He describes reunions of Montana Cowboys association in Great Falls drawing hundreds, where veterans recall range days but no cowboy sings, not even in the dipping vat. He cites the contrast with city performers and family hymn tunes heard in earlier times.

Charlie Russell Couldn’t Sing Cowboys Songs, Cowboy Tales Claim

Sid Willis and Finch David recall that Charlie Russell could not sing a cowhand tune, and other old cowboys confirm most were unable to sing full songs. Stories recount a noisy camp concert gone awry and note many cowhands preferred moodful or garbled tunes over full songs, with only a few lively numbers like Strawberry Roan.

Odd Carved Rock Found on Old Carroll Road

A carved rock, shaped like a closed book with the date 1869 and the inscription I Think Ever of Thee, was found near Crooked Creek along the Carroll Fort Maginnis route. Discovered by Wilbur Zahn on his Roy-area ranch, the relic was shown in Lewistown's Democrat News window, sparking theories it may have been left by a sailor or dropped from a wagon during heavy 1869 traffic on the Carroll Fort Maginnis road.
