Download or read book Historic Tales of Whoop Up Country On the Trail from Montana s Fort Benton to Canada s Fort Macleod written by Ken Robison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Withdrawal of the mighty Hudson Bay Company from present-day Alberta and Saskatchewan created a lawless environment with new economic opportunities. A cross-border trading bond arose with growing steamboat mercantile center Fort Benton in Montana Territory. In 1870, Montana traders Johnny Healy and Al Hamilton moved across the Medicine Line and built Fort Whoop-Up. It established the two-hundred-mile Whoop-Up Trail from Fort Benton, through Blackfoot lands, to the Belly River near today's Lethbridge. Over the next decade, the buffalo robe trade flourished with the Blackfoot, as did violence. The turmoil forced the creation of Canada's North West Mounted Police, tasked with closing down the whiskey trade and evicting the Montana traders. Award-winning historian Ken Robison brings to life this dramatic story.

Book excerpt: On the trail of outlaws and horse thieves, young Chip Bennett and a small string of horses sets out along the Whoop-up Trail in search of his older brother. Following a tip, he arrives at Cow Island, a rough frontier town ruled by vigilantes, only to find that Wane has disappeared. Chip, himself, barely escapes from hanging, before he continues on his mission. In this Happy Family adventure, we watch Chip develop from a carefree youngster into a determined and resourceful man. Bertha Muzzy Bower was the first woman to make a career of writing Western fiction, and remains one of the most widely known authors of the western novel. Her first novel, Chip of the Flying U, was an instant success, and led to fourteen novels about the Flying U Ranch in Montana. Her novels are characterized by a sharp wit, a strong sense of family and loyalty, and the authentic quality of her characters.
Download or read book Fort Benton written by Ken Robison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Benton, the head of navigation on the Missouri River, is known as the "Birthplace of Montana." Its history spans every era in Montana's development. Founded in 1846 as a fur-trading post, it is Montana's oldest continuous settlement. Arrival of the first steamboats and completion of the Mullan Road in 1860 heralded the steamboat era, bringing gold seekers, merchant princes, scoundrels, soldiers, North West Mounted Police, and eventually women and children to the wild frontier. Then came the railroads, open-range ranching, and homesteaders by the thousands. Today Fort Benton serves the agricultural Golden Triangle and presents its colorful history through cultural tourism.
Download or read book The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests written by Sterling Evans and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests is the first collection of interdisciplinary essays bringing together scholars from both sides of the forty-ninth parallel to examine life in a transboundary region. The result is a text that reveals the diversity, difficulties, and fortunes of this increasingly powerful but little-understood part of the North American West. Contributions by historians, geographers, anthropologists, and scholars of criminal justice and environmental studies provide a comprehensive picture of the history of the borderlands region of the western United States and Canada. The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests is divided into six parts: Defining the Region, Colonizing the Frontier, Farming and Other Labor Interactions, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Nineteenth Century, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Twentieth Century, and Natural Resources and Conservation along the Border. Topics include the borderlands environment; its aboriginal and gender history; frontier interactions and comparisons; agricultural and labor relations; tourism; the region as a refuge for Mormons, far-right groups, and Vietnam War resisters; and conservation and natural resources. These areas show how the history and geography of the borderlands region has been transboundary, multidimensional, and unique within North America.

Download or read book Homesteading on the Dry Fork of the Marias River written by Vivan Venetz Keil and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homesteading on the Dry Fork of the Marias River chronicles the family histories of Montana homesteaders Vivian and LaVern Keil. Their story, which spans from the 1700s to today, is quintessentially American. Their ancestors immigrated to the United States in search of a better life-to claim their own small piece of the American Dream. They came from Russia and Switzerland, drawn by promises of "land for the taking" for those willing to make the perilous trek. Their journeys eventually brought the families to the rugged frontiers of northern Montana, where they put down roots as homesteaders. They experienced hardship, triumph, and adventure as they attempted to tame the rugged land. Through the sacrifices, endurance, ironclad work ethic, and endless courage of pioneers like them, the American West was conquered and settled. Technology and farming practices have changed throughout the years, but the spirit of adventure endures, as Vivian and Lavern continue to farm and ranch the same precious land to this day. Meticulously researched through sources both oral and written, Homesteading on the Dry Fork of the Marias River serves as a lasting testament to the pioneering spirit of America.
