Meagher Treaty and Frontier Life in Montana 1865
The narrative recalls Governor Meagher's 1865 treaty with Northern tribes at Fort Benton, distributing $7 500 in annuities and moving Indians to a Canadian border reservation. It recounts Culver’s frontier experiences from Iowa to the Judith Basin, 1869 to 1881, including buffalo hunts, Black Kettle era clashes, and early Maiden and Lewistown trapping.
