Product Description
This book presents a study of Nevada City, Montana to examine the eligibility potential for a historic district nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Founded in 1863, Nevada City experienced a gold mining heyday from 1863-1869. As easily attainable placers diminished and strikes were reported elsewhere, the town was nearly abandoned. Many of the remaining buildings were demolished, used for firewood, or salvaged by Nevada City's remaining residents. Senator Charles Bovey began preservation work in 1944 at nearby Virginia City, Montana. In the late 1950s Bovey was asked to remove his "Old Town" exhibit from the Great Falls fairgrounds. He purchased several acres of land containing what remained of Nevada City and began relocating buildings to Nevada City's vacant lots in 1958. The collection of original, relocated, and reconstructed buildings were intended to represent the 1860s-1900 period of Montana¿s history. In 1997 the State of Montana purchased Bovey's Nevada City and Virginia City properties and artifacts to continue the preservation and tourist legacy begun in 1944. ... Read more

Excerpt: Big Sky Resort -The resort was the vision of NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley, a Montana native. Big Sky opened in December 1973 with a main base area at an elevation of 7510 feet (2290 m) above sea level on the eastern face of Lone Mountain (11,166 feet, 3403 m) the sixty-seventh highest mountain in Montana, and the seventh-highest mountain in the state outside of the Beartooth Range . The first four lifts at Big Sky were the gondola and three chairlifts. The enclosed gondola carried four skiers per cabin and climbed 1525 vertical feet (465 m) to 9040 feet (2755 m). The nearby "Lone Peak" triple chairlift provided the lift-served maximum of 9800 feet (2987 m), unloading at the bowl 1366 feet (416 m) beneath Lone Mountain's summit, providing a vertical drop of just under 2300 feet (701 m). The "Explorer" double chair served novice terrain just above the base, and the "Andesite" double climbed the north face of adjacent Andesite Mountain to 8700 feet (2652 m). This lift was renamed "Rams Head" in 1978, and replaced with the "Ramcharger" high speed quad in 1990. After its third season, Boyne Resorts purchased the resort in 1976, following Huntley's death from cancer in March 1974 an...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1844074 ... Read more

Excerpt:Bannack Historic District Bannack is a ghost town in Beaverhead County , Montana , United States . Located on Grasshopper Creek, approximately 11 miles (18 km) upstream from where Grasshopper Creek joins with the Beaverhead River south of Dillon . History Founded in 1862 and named after the local Bannock Indians, it was the site of a major gold discovery in 1862, and served as the capital of Montana Territory briefly in 1864, until the capital was moved to Virginia City . Bannack continued as a mining town, though with a dwindling population. The last residents left in the 1970s. At its peak, Bannack had a population of about ten thousand. There were three hotels, three bakeries, three blacksmith shops, two stables, two meat markets, a grocery store, a restaurant, a brewery, a billiard hall, and four saloons. Though all of the businesses were built of logs, some had decorative false fronts. Among the town's founders was Dr. Erasmus Darwin Leavitt, a physician born in Cornish, New Hampshire , who gave up medicine for a time to become a gold miner. Dr. Leavitt arrived in Bannack in 1862, and alternately practiced medicine and mined for gold with pick and shovel. "Though some success crowne... ... Read more

Excerpt: Custer National Forest -The western sections have a mixture of pine, spruce and fir trees due to the increased altitude and more abundant rainfall. The grizzly bear, black bear, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and bison are all found in the western sections though they are not as abundant as in Yellowstone National Park to the south. Higher altitudes deep into the wilderness areas are above timberline and alpine conditions prevail. The tallest mountain in Montana, (Granite Peak), is shared with Gallatin National Forest, as is the interesting Grasshopper Glacier, which has millions of grasshoppers that died approximately 300 years ago, entombed within the ice. Within the forest are Native American burial grounds, pictographs and petroglyphs. For the plains Indians, the forest provided shelter and a stable food supply. Members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition are generally considered to be the first white Americans to visit the region. The Forest is currently divided into three Ranger Districts: Beartooth in Red Lodge, Montana; Ashland in Ashland, Montana; and Sioux in Camp Crook, South Dakota. Four National Grasslands were formerly managed by the forest as the Grand River, Cedar River, Little Missouri and Sheyenne National Grasslands. These units are now managed as the Dakota Prairie Grasslands, headquartered in Bismarck, ND. There are over 30 vehicle accessible campgrounds in the forest, as well as numerous p...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2303790 ... Read more

Excerpt:Basin Basin is a census-designated place (CDP) in Jefferson County , Montana , United States . It lies about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the Continental Divide in a high narrow canyon along Interstate 15 about halfway between Butte and Helena . Basin Creek flows roughly north to south through Basin and enters the Boulder River on the settlement's south side. The population was 255 at the 2000 census. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of human habitation from 10,000 years ago at a site near Clancy , 20 miles (32 km) from Basin. From about 2000 BCE through the mid-19th century, nomadic tribes hunted bison in the grassy valleys that trend east, away from the Rocky Mountains and into the plains. By the time miners found gold in the streams in and near Basin, most of the these tribes of Indians had been forced onto reservations by the U.S. government. Basin rests above the Boulder Batholith , the host rock for many valuable mineral ores found in this part of Montana. After the town became a hub of gold and silver mining, Basin's population peaked at about 1,500 in first decade of the 20th century but gradually declined as the mines were depleted. Abandoned mining equipment, closed or barricaded mine portals, and the ruins of a smelter and ore concentrator remain in Basin in the 21st century. Historic buildings from Basin's heyday form much of the core of the CDP's small business district, which includes a fire station, a post office, two restaurants, a bar, a commercial gallery, small specialty shops, and the nonprofit M... ...
