A Montana Primer History, Geography, and Driving In our ethnocentric world, the calendar shows Montana’s birth date as November 8, 1889, when after 25 years as a territory the state was welcomed into the union by proclamation of President Benjamin Harrison. The truth, of course, is that the scenic, cultural, and spiritual wonders of Montana really began to take shape about 100 million years ago, when the Rocky Mountains were born and converted what had been shallow seas, swamps, and plains into the dramatic geography we see today.

Starting the loop, Hardin is largely nondescript but does have a Custer’s Last Stand Reenactment in a field northwest of town every June. Some historical buildings are worth seeing, too, including St. John’s Catholic Church and Hardin Depot, but the area’s history is best captured at the Big Horn County Historical Museum & Visitor Center (406-665-1671). The 22-acre site features more than two dozen outdoor structures and

Montana as an Emerging Gateway Although Latinos have lived in Billings and Butte since the early twentieth century, the Gallatin Valley has recently received such an influx of documented and undocumented workers as to cause alarm among some residents of the community. In early 2007, three months of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle were devoted to letters to the editors sparked by a city commissioner’s essay on the need to understand the migrants’ experience. A brief survey of responses (about 20) reveals inherited racial discrimination, with many respondents referring to the negative impact of Latinos on the local economy. At the
