Winter, Spring, and Struggles on the Montana Frontier
A correspondent shares a vivid Montana story of a dry spring, heavy sod breaking, and a trip to Glendive showing steam plows and a growing town. The letter recounts a harrowing snow blindness incident on the plains, a long homeward march, and news of a newborn, visiting relatives, and local homesteading efforts around Vida and Wolf Creek. The piece blends frontier hardships with community updates and local business notes.
