林肯於1864526日劃分了蒙大拿地區

雖然暴力事件頻傳,但是拓荒者還是紛紛來到蒙大拿地區,主要是受到金礦、銅礦的吸引,同時也希望在這裡取得屬於自己的土地。當拓荒者在1880年代湧入這片土地時,許多美國原住民被迫遷徙到保留區裡。當地的牧場與旅客之中,有許多牛仔,就像圖裡這個在麥迪遜郡 (Madison County) 的牧羊人一樣。你有沒有去過蒙大拿州呢?


Despite the violence, Montana settlers kept coming, drawn by gold, copper, and the chance to claim some of that rich land for themselves as homesteaders.
