Marquis de Mores Montana adventures headline a dramatic tale
A long feature recounts Marquis de Mores from his Montana and Dakota exploits in the 1880s, detailing a failed packing plant venture near Madora, a fatal gunfight with Frank O’Donnell and Riley Lufsey, land disputes, a Deadwood stage line collapse, and premature tropical fruit schemes, ending with his return to France and later travels. It also highlights Mrs. Morony’s war relief work and her father Captain James H. Mills.
