Columbus (pop. 1,990) sits in pretty pine and cottonwood bottoms along the Yellowstone River, a working-class town along the railroad and interstate dominated by a smelter and refinery. One stop to make is the free Museum of the Beartooths (406-322-4588, May-Sept.), which peeks into the region’s mining and homesteading history. Montana Silversmiths (800-634-4830) has been the manufacturing home of finely crafted jewelry for women, glossy western belt buckles for real and wannabe cowboys, and watches for forty years. As you leave Columbus on MT 78 and follow the Stillwater River toward the Beartooths, look for some of the region’s prettier

AN ELECTRIC HISTORY: ALONG THE OLD MILWAUKEE ROAD As you drive US 12 between Roundup and Harlowton, look carefully and you’ll eventually identify an abandoned grade along the Musselshell River that represents a railroad history unlike any other in Montana. The Chicago, St. Paul, Milwaukee & Pacific Railroad better known as the Milwaukee Road operated trains along this stretch from the late 1800s until the mid-1970s. In the 212 miles between Harlowton and Avery, Idaho, the tracks were electrified beginning in 1914. HARLOWTON IS THE HUB OF THE MILWAUKEE ROAD HISTORIC DISTRICT AND HOME OF E57B, ONE OF THE LAST

Bear Paw National Battlefield (32 miles round-trip) In the Land of the 10,000 Haystacks chapter you read about Chief Joseph and the valiant march of 800 Nez Perce as they tried to escape the U.S. Cavalry in 1877. Here, on grassy shoulders above willowy Snake Creek and in the shadows of the Bear’s Paw Mountains, is where Joseph, uttering his famous I Will Fight No More Forever speech, surrendered to Generals Nelson A. Miles and Oliver O. Howard on a frigid October day after a 1,710-mile journey spanning four months and four states. A 1-mile interpretive trail offers a haunting

For the sake of lodging and dining options, we actually start the Warrior Trail in Hardin (pop. 3,730), a mixed agricultural community of Anglos and Indians on the edge of the Crow Reservation. 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
