SHERIDAN COUNTY RAIL ROADS
AND TRANSPORTATION
Early Days.

Before the tide of immigration
brought the homeseeker into Eastern
Montana, had been witnessed the pas
sage Of a hundred years full of grip
ping human experiences. This was
the era of the explorer, missionary
and the fur trader. Without doubt
in 1742 this part Of the state was
traversed by the gallant Verendrye
and his adventurous companions in
their quest for the western ocean. On
April 26, 1905 the Lewis and Clark
expedition, in their canoes reached
the point where the Yellowstone
llver empties into the Missouri.
They pronounced this spot an ex-
cellent situation for a trading post.
Clark paused for only short time
and then passed westward. In 1929
the American Fur Trading Com
pany established trading post
on that point. 1t was called
Fort Union and becam til e
most formidable fur trading es-
tablishment ever erected in the
Northwest. Tt continued point of
trade for over forty years. A con
stant stream of boats, during the
favorable season, arrived from st.
Louis and points south on the Mis-
souri,, unloaded their cargoes and re-
turned south loaded with rich bales
Of furs.

to four steam boats each season. In
1868 the first railroad reached Sioux
City. After that the boats were
loaded at that place for points as far
west as Fort Benton. Transports
tion was more frequent and reliable,
though often disasters overlook the
passengers and cargoes.
To the casual adventurer, eastern
Montana presented an unpromising
appearance, he regarded it for the
most part as q useless waste to be
gotten over as quickly as possible in
the rush to the Pacific. But at last
. different sort Of prospector made
his appearance, the honleseeker. He
Vas one who thought that where buff
faio, antelope and deer had found
sustenance, livestock would prosper
and grow fat. An impetus was Civ
en- by better and surer means of
transportation.

Happy Hunting Grounds.

Northeastern Montana was the
hunting ground for the Sioux and the
Blackfeet Indians. The plains were
inhabited by buffalo, deer, wolves
and fleet bands of antelope that
passed like clouds before the hunt
ers; ferocious grizzlies infested the
willow thickets, wild fowl filled the
air; creeks and backwaters swarmed
with beaver. The Indian hunter af-
ter carefully treating his furs, haul
ed them on a travois, or crossed
sticks dragged by a cayuse, to Fort
Union. There he would exchange
them for products of civilization,
which the thrifty fur trader had
taught him to desire, or the fire
water for which he thirsted.

The growth Of the west is associ-
ated with railroads. AS soon as
California was admitted to the Union
two transcOntinental lines were au-
thorized by Congress. Later four
lines were built, the Northern Pa
cific passing through the southern
part Of Montana. It was not until
the sixth was built that the terri
tory embracing Sheridan county was
brought in contact with the iron
bands that at length united East and
West and heraIded the advent of cit
les, farms and commonwealth. 1t
was the great Empire Builder, James
J. Hill who conceived the idea of
building a northern line, extending
from Duluth on Lake Superior to
Puget Sound. Mr.. Hill purposed to
blaze a new trail to the Pacific, but
it was advance scarcely more rap
idly than the settlements could sup
port it..

the streams of beaver and the plains
of buffalo, the rich pasturage fur
nished the basis for far different
activity OF enterprise. When the land
had become freed from the menace
of Indian warfare, when Sitting
Bull" and Chief Joseph withdrew
their activities westward, COW out
fits began to hold their cattle on the
well grassed ranges. The Nm out
fit from Texas was perhaps the larg-
est of these nomadic frontier outfits
to pass through this district. The
cattle market at that time was locat-
ed south of here. Omaha, Kansas
City and Dubuque were the destina-
tiOns of most of the cattle fattened
on eastern Montana grass which we're
driven hundreds of miles overland to
these markets.
River Transportation
The principal means of getting
supplies into the country was by
boat as far as Fort Union, which act
ed as distributing point. Canoes,
keel boats and flat boats brought
their cargoes from st. Louis. In
1850 the first steamer made it's ap-
pearance at Fort Union. After that
