to his chagrin they return, hav-
ing stopped at an old well on the
island to eat a picnic supper.
Because the bridge is destroyed
they decide to spend the night

HISTORICAL SOCIETY FORMED EARLY

HISTORICAL SOCIETY ORMED EARLY
Montana became history minded at an early period Of its
development. The Territory of Montana was created under Act
of Congress approved on May rs, 1854. The territory of Idaho
to which a portion of Montana belonged, was organized earlier
on March 3, 1889
Only 81 months after creation of Montana Colonel Wilbur F.
Sanders and his associates had brought about the passage of a
measure creating an historical society.
There wasn't much historical material to work on, except
the recollections of the trail blazers themselves, but the society
got a foothold and has maintained an existence throughout the
years and has collected much valuable data.
The Historical Society of Montana was incorporated by a
legislative act of Feb. 2, 1865. The first meeting was held in Vr-
ginia City. The first president, temporary and permanent, was
the coloful pioneer Granville Stuart.
