fences limited the expanses of the
Montana prairies. But the Old-timer
of those days Of "Sun and saddle
leather" Off he was fortunate enough
to- come through unscathed), always
came up smiling and was soon Oft
to the old COW town to relax for q
day cover his cup or his cards..
Played with a Will
And, the end Of the roundup or
the drive usually found these men at
some little western town. Coming as
they did, men reared in the free life
of the open air, perhaps after weeks
and months of trying restraint and
hardships, they felt the time had
arrived for a celebration" So, we
find, in almost every instance this
man of the open spaces entered into
his play with the same will and puT-
pose as he performed his daily tasks
upon the range. Perhaps he might
shoot out the lights of a saloon or
dance hall, pop off the necks from a
few liquor bottles, or make a tender
foot dance to the tune Of a six
shooter; but in his heart, this was
nothing more to him than a can to
innocent diversion. His amusements
were similar to his daily surround
ings and his occupation. They were
intense, large, and most decidedly
full of action.
1t is mostly because of this fact
that our hero of the cattle days re-
ceived his unwarranted bad name.
Left a Lasting Impression
The real picture Of the range of
former days, however, shows the
cowboy, not as a boisterOus devil
may-care fellow, filled with oaths
and -uproariOus conduct. but as a
steady, hard-wOrking man, always
faithful in his duties. He was an ex-
pert in a task of the most exacting
sort. Though his fare was most times
common and course, though he was
often Tudely clad, his accomplishing
hardihOOd, his s~elf-cOntrOl, his faith
fuIness to the task that was set be-
fore him has left lasting impression.
His passing which has followed in
the wake of the ''nester"-the home
steader, and the wire fences, has
taken from Montana the one great
character that was so typically west
ern-a character that was born with
a great industry, and that passed on
with it's ending.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-12-04
(By A r. CONWAY


TIME ANNALS of Montana's his
tory are composed of five dis
tinct eras. The white mans first
knowledge of this vast common
wealth dates from the Indian age,
when the Treasure state was peOpled
with great tribes of Redmen-when
the IegiOns of Blackfeet, Crows, As
~sinnibOines, ~Saleeshes, Kalispells and
other Nations laid undispUted claim
to these plains and mountains as
their hunting and trapping grounds.
Then, in the early part Of the last
century there came the brotherhood
Of free trappers and traders, who
dominated for many years, roaming
far and wide, gathering the scattered
wealth of these regions. These were
the days when fur was money and
fur was plentiful-days when the un-
civilized Redman was exploited and
the white invasion had its first i'm
petus.
In 1860, and for a brief period
following the discovery of rich plac-
er deposits in the gulches of Mon
tana, the prospector held sway, and
this territory lived out her gold min
ing era. Brief, as it was, the gold
rush" epoch was Of greatest import
ance to Montana Territory, for it re-
suited in the bringing to this part OF
the Great West the thousands OF
settlers and adventures, many OF
whom remained and were in later
years instrumental in pioneering in
agricultural and industrial lines.
The passing of the buffalo, the in.
evitable result of the white invasion
left these plains rich in nOUrishing
and fattening buffalo Cor bunch
GRASSY, and this condition led to the
cattle days, which followed the trail
ing from Texas of vast herds of the
famous ''lOnghOrn" steers.
All of this led, at first by expert
mental steps, and then by leaps anC
bounds phenomenal in speed, tt
modern commercial life-the presen
era of profitable diversified agricUl
ture and richly remunerative indus
trial development.
Romantic Cattle Era
OF all these, the cattle era stand
forth by far the most romantic
partly because modern fiction writer
have, in a sense, immOrtalized tn
characters who were a part Of thi
great enterprise, n mainly, becaus
Montana and Wyoming were the tw.
last great stands of the cowman.
A study of the cattle days in tn
West, resolves itself into a study O
the cowboy, for this singular charaC
ter was then the dominant figure.
The Cowboy Misrepresented
Like everything else, which bear
distinctive qualities, Montana COW
boy life has lent itself to literar
abuse, and this truly western charaC
ter has been pictured by many a
INSCRIPTIONS writer as the embodt
ment of gross iniquity. If the COW
puncher of the days when Charles N
Russell rode the range, was nOthin
more than license and %uprOariou.
riOtOus living, the industry that b
conducted on these plains cOul
never have developed to its One-tim
imposing proportions.
The story of the West is a story
q time of heTOs, and of all the cha.
acters who played before the foo
lights in this great drama, none ca
lay claim to greater historical SIT
%nificance than this chief figure (

abled them to excel in the sports Of
the field. The cowboy always tried to
be a dead" shot and generally was.
His life in the saddle, midst sun
shine and rain, heat and cold, made
him worship his horse. This fact,
coupled with a good rifle and a six
shooter and the pleasure of an easy
riding saddle completed his happi-
less. OF vice, in the ordinary sense,
or as it is generally applied, he knew
nothing. He was a diamond in the

rough, an uncouth, a brave, and a
generous individual, who never lied
to or cheated his empIoyer-loyalty
was n &C his chief characteristics
1t is a great mistake to imagine
that the cowboy was a dangerous
sort. Anyone was as safe with these
men as with any other people Of the
world, unless this nan stole a horse,
or was looking for a fight. In their
eyes death was a mild punishment
for horse stealing or cattle rustling.
