Kid (Harvey) Curry made a name for himself as an outlaw in
Eastern Montana at the turn of the 20th century, both as a killer and a
bank robber. Much of his outlaw career was spent in the area of
modern day Landusky and Zortman, although he moved in and out of the
state.
In 1894, the Kid killed Powell
Landusky, namesake of the community of Landusky, Montana, and a man known
as a rough and tumble character.
In 1901, Curry killed James Winters.
Winters' grave is now on private ranchland. Both graves are in the
Zortman/Landusky area.
The bottom photograph is of a hideout the Curry
brothers used, tucked away in a "hidden" depression just off of
present-day highway 191.
