林肯於1864年5月26日劃分了蒙大拿地區

這是一片牛、羊能夠擁有豐富牧草，擁有長山谷與高山，富產金礦與銅礦的土地。在1864年5月26日，林肯總統簽署法案，使這片土地成為美國的領土。你知道這裡是哪裡嗎？這是範圍廣大的蒙大拿州，通常被稱為「大天空的國土」 (Big Sky Country) 。

在內戰期間的悲觀日子裡，林肯看著遠離戰火的蒙大拿，認為這片土地應該要有適當的管理。但是這片新領土在1889年11月8日成為美國第41州之前，卻發生了許多暴力衝突。


It was a place rich in grazing land for cattle and sheep, with long valleys and high mountains, producing gold and copper. On May 26, 1864, President Lincoln signed an act making it a territory of the U.S. What is it? It's the wide-open spaces of the state of Montana, often called "Big Sky Country."

During the dark days of the Civil War, Lincoln looked away from the fighting momentarily and decided the area now known as Montana needed governing. But violent clashes were to occur in the new territory before it became the 41st state in the Union on November 8, 1889.
