Marquis de Mores as West Adventurer and Montana Pioneer
Montana archives recount the volatile life of Marquis de Mores, explorer and cattle packer aspirant, whose Montana and Dakota ventures in the 1880s led to spectacular failures. His ventures included a North Dakota packing plant, a Crazy Horse era gunfight, and fruit greenhouse schemes, amid a colorful, reckless career noted by romance and legal skirmishes. Mrs. John G Morony, a wealthy Montana philanthropist, writes of pride in Allied effort in France, praising Stars and Stripes and American volunteers for the war effort.
