John Bozeman left
his family in Georgia
and came to Mon-
tana during the gold
rush. While he lived
here, the town and
the famous Bozeman
Trail, which opened
in 1863, were named
after him. His murder
remains a mystery.
When entering the Blackfeet reservation from any of the four
directions, you'll come upon two Indian warriors on horseback,
cleverly crafted by tribal member Jay Laber.

Johnny Grant, pioneer trader and cattleman, lived
from 1831-1917. His first wife was a Shoshone.
Johnny gambled a lot—and lost—but he had a
shrewd eye for livestock and built up a sizable herd
of cattle and horses. He settled in the Deer Lodge
valley and built the house that would become the
popular Grant-Kohrs ranch.

Red Cloud was known as a fair, courteous Lakota
Sioux leader. At the age of six, he trained his first
horse and later swam across the Missouri River.
He was at the center of the Indian wars and the
U.S. government. After 1851 when the govern-
ment built forts around the Bozeman Trail to
make way for a railroad, Red Cloud led a series of
attacks against them. The forts were burned and
the Bozeman Trail closed. Not for long.
