Gold Rush and Old West History
The Twelve tribes of early American Indians in Montana Made Beaverhead
County their Hunting and trading Grounds long before the white settler!
Sacajawea, the women indian guide for Lewis and Clark, was from the Shoeshone
tribe that hunted here and traded horses to Lewis and Clark! Without the
