I grew up in eastern Washington, where folks from Missoula used to come to shop at Christmas time or for the big hospital. I had family that homesteaded in Montana in the early days. Steamboat up the Missouri and they stopped in Miles City, owned forty thousand acres outside of it for sheep of course. Family that worked for Montana power and lived in Livingston and big timber. I have the chaps, vest and belt my great grandad gave my dad. I got a picture of that great grandpa looking like Roy Rogers, he spent four thousand some odd dollars for that quarter horse at the Denver horse auction in the forties. That was at least a couple houses at that point in time. I’ve driven truck for a long time and my home stretch was when I got into Montana. I really enjoyed the article, I still also call the tv the boob tube lol! Yellowstone is a good show but I grew up the same way so I find it hard to sit down and watch tv much…
