Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pacific History Stories The old, old story of early day a in Montana are fall of interest. There is something peculiarly fascinating in the tales of the years when the mountains, plains and valleys of our great state were practically unknown territory; and the romance of the lives of those who left their eastern and southern homes between 1803 and 1870 for the Northwest had all the elements which fill us with delight. The young men who dared leave their homes and start for the prairies and for the "Land of the Tardy Sunset," were fully as brave and adventurous as the Crusaders of Europe. How well these daring men - adventurers, trappers, hunters, fur traders, gold seekers and others have succeeded, is a tale, the like of which, no other state can equal. Of course there were some men who started with high hopes and failed. Lack of judgment, lack of real courage, lack of moral worth, Fate - call it what you will - always leaves behind the unknown dead. I have tried to show how each side endeavored to do their best; and while we applaud the winners, let us not forget those who lost. They all had faith in Montana. The children of these opening days of the twentieth century have but a vague idea of the hardships of the men and women whose story is told in the following pages. They are used to the railroads, to the telegraph, to the telephone, to constant companionship. The recent years have sent our young men into Alaska, into isles across the seas, into the remote corners of the earth; but we can always reach them by wire in a few hours and we are used to thinking in long reaches. But when these pioneers came to Montana, there were no railways, and their journey was made either on foot, by horseback, by Blow boats, or by the Blower carts or stages, with their creaking, ungreased wheels.
