Recall of Pioneer Life in Lewistown Montana by Mrs Dailey
Mrs Clara Dailey of Lewistown recalls her 1880s arrival with husband Frank Dailey and two babies. They homesteaded near Lewistown after 1884, endured a brutal 1885 rainstorm, built a cabin, and watched trapper life, beaver hunting, and early frontier community form around them. She describes fear from soldiers, supportive neighbors, and later years turning the cabin into a home with preserved heirloom chairs.
