Historic Montana HIS is our state, our Montana, her glimmering lakes and her g5,jQ'Q5j5'i streantlets Bedded by rocksand with- torrents that join the vast seas and farned rivers, Her snow covered peaks and her mountains which lift their great crests to the heavens,- Her pines and her trappers in bnckskin, her bnffaloes which fleeing the arrow Of red inen on pintos, roamed freely the breast of the far-stretching prairies, - Knee-deep in the long waving grassesg all stand nnforgotten, tirnniortal, Monuments of her own consecration. ' You who believe in M ontana, her beauty, past, present and future, Hark to this record accounting her histtry of romance allnringg Hark to the past of M ontana, the land of the great shining mountains. Long ago within the boundaries of the state now called Montana Dwelt the Indian, the redrnan, in his hunting grounds unchallenged. Eastward of the mighty Rockies dwelt the Gros V entres and Blackfeet, Lived the S hoshones and N ez Perce's, lived the S elish and the C heyennesj Also in this state the Crows dwelt by the Yellowstone and Big H orn,' Fiercest of these was the Snake tribe, often called by some Shoshones' Dwelt- they all in happy freedom, nnharassed by white 1nan's habits, Satisfied with savage customs, with their primitive existence. Caine some whites from H. B. conipany, came from Santa Fe' some Spaniards, As the first white men recorded to behold M ontana's Rockies, As the' trail-blaeers to ' . f open all the glories of our country! ' And then Jefferson, our president, purchased all Louisianag Paid for all acquisition just a few cents for D each acre?
