Indian economy, fur trade frontier, min
ing frontier, military frontier, cattle
kingdom, dryland farming, initial in
naturalization. A century covers most
of this story-if one excerpts the Ind
ian epoch whose time has no certain
measure.
The opening of the white" Montana
story took place in great Indian wild
erness: Assiniboine in the northeast
part of the state, eros Ventre in the
north central, Blackfeet, Blood, Piegan
in the central, Crow in the south cen
trail, Salish, Kalispell, Kootenai in the
western areas. The white penetration
into this slowmoving equilibrium with
the Montana wilderness began in the
early 1905 and was the work of the
fur trader who was pushed into the
state by the French and then the
British companies, engaged in COM
petitive struggle for the market by the
American companies. International
rivalry for this raw material market
keynoted this early Montana: Hudson's
Bay and the Northwest, the Missouri
Fur, the Rocky Mountain Fur, the
American Fur John Jacob Astor). 1t
would prove to be in time typical per-
iod in Montana history, for the eco
nomic stigmata of this state were
there then: exploration attraction of
newcomers, depletion of wild life, dis
ruption of the Indian economy and way
of life, encouragement of permanent
development.
Colonization Really Started In Sixties
The fifty feverish years of fur trade
competition left Montana by the mid
die of the century still wilderness
country. A few scattered settlements
has been made: Fort Benton, Fort I'm
ion, st. Peters Mission, the Blackfoot
Agency, st. Ignatius Mission, Fort
Owen. Then the stream of American
headed westward in search
of gold found its way into Montana in
the 'fifties. The fur trade factors had
sought to keep the gold a secret, but
they were not match for the force
in the Stevens treaty with
the Indians in 1855 and the Mullan
wagon road connecting the Missouri
and the Columbia river systems: Fort
Benton to Walla Walla. The Sixties
brought in rapid succession the min
ing towns of Bannack City, Alder
Gulch, Last Chance Gulch, Confeder-
ate Gulch, Emigrant Gulch, the Clark S
Fork mines, the Copperopolis mines.
Then, in the late sixties placer mining
1windled as the placer gold was ex-
nausted. Miners and business men
turned to quartz, and the mining camps
in the new quartz mining areas prov
ed to be more permanent than those
in the placer regions. Mills were
heavy and costly machin-
cry was brought in, and mining became
a highly organized capitalistic ven
ture. The Plymouth Gold & Silver
Mining Company, for example was
capitalized at one million dollars.
When the mining industry turned to
copper in the seventies, the scales
were weighted in favor of the large
scale operators.

less than a hundred years, al
the phases of American life
have passed quickly in review
the economic, social, political
cultural phases of American culture
Montana, then, becomes an important
object of scrutiny because a Montana
study throws strong, clear light on
so many aspects of American civiliza.
ton.
Montana has lived" writes Joseph
Kinsey Howard, "the life of America
on a reduced scale and at breakneck
speed. It's history has been bewilder-
ingly condensed, kaleidoscope news
reel, unplotted and implanted :"
This perspective on the national his
tory is, of course, shared with Montana
by a number of other western states.
Our last frontier, the Northwest states,
is abundant with documentary evil
dences of all kinds to illustrate any
theme of American culture which one
might wish to select
No Time to Develop Stable Economy
One such theme has been indicated
by Howard himself in his widely
read Montana: High, Wide and Hand
some. Howard speaks of "the con-
flicts brought about by the shift from
frontier individualism to a machine age
economy almost within a generation
-" The shift has been so rapid that
economic stability has never been real
lied. Montana he adds, never has
had a stable economy; it never has had
time to develop one" Any view of
Montana culture, then, must accent its
speed of development and it's regency.
One cannot refrain at this point from
quoting again Towards deeply felt
comment:
"Montana's battered elder genera
ton has experienced most of the
stages between frontier and the mac
lineage economy-the era of self
contained handcraft industry, small
farms, the 'robber barons,' specuIa-
tive land booms, war-ike any other
section, but faster. The speed of
Montana's transition, the apparent
ly permanent instability of it's eco
nomic life, have had important social
consequences; more important, and
factor in this speed, is the combin-
alton of circumstance and destiny
and mischance which made the ter
ritory subject state of the east.

MONTANA STAGES

Montana has not undergone all of
the stages of cultural development
which have characterized the eastern
states One thinks, for example, of
the mass industrialization of the East
and the mass urbanization But all
of the other stages may be noted here:
the successive frontier phases, the raw
materials exploitation, incipient com
liberalization.
Montana history occurs in strata
