Soule brothers and the cinnabar mine tale
In 1806 the Soule brothers assisted by guides moved near Livingston and pursued quicksilver in a tunnel. They failed to reach ore and later rejoined exploration, leading to the naming of Cinnabar Mountain and a Northern Pacific station near Gardiner. A 1872 geologic survey labeled the ore red rock, but the legend of the find persisted.
