In the fall of 1909 an influx of people came to the Fox Lake area to homestead on government land. This required living on the land for a period of three years. Many of these were bachelors while others had come with their families. Some of these early settlers had come by covered wagon, with later arrivals coming by rail to Glendive, Montana on the Northern Pacific line, or Mondak, farther north on the Great Northern. They staked out claims and fenced them, slowly pushing back the cattlemen. Whenever these newcomers squatted upon land already...

I was born and raised on an Iowa farm where I worked for my board and room and a little spending money until I was 21 years old after which I received wages of $20 a month for a few months. But it didn't take me long to make up my mind that I would never own a farm of my own at that rate, so I asked for a week's leave and bought a round-trip homeseeker's ticket to Culbertson, Montana. I had seen an advertisement of homesteads there in an eastern paper. As my ticket allowed for stopovers, when I...

According to a historical overview of mining in Montana compiled by the U.S. Forest Service, American Indians and fur trappers knew about oil seeps in that area and early-day prospectors wondered about the p...
