Americans have inhabited this land for thousands of
years. 200 years ago Lewis and Clark traversed what
would one day be known as Montana. Discovered in the 1860s, gold attracted men
with visions of riches. Outlaws, cattle, cowboys and
railroads quickly followed. The story of the 20th century
became a saga of ranching, mining, logging, tourism and the
preservation of nature's treasures. Today, Montana's
treasures are found in the state's environment, while
technology transforms old industries and creates new
economies. In Montana, the old and new await you. |
