2. capital of Montana. That year Montana was organized as a separate territory and Sidney Edgerton was appointed as the first governor. The first legislature met at Bannack. In the early eighties copper was discovered at Butte. The result was one of the world’s greatest mining camps. In 1876 the Sioux Indians were again on the warpath "because the miners invaded their territory. That year five companies of General Custer's cavalry were all killed on the Big Horn.

I have told you some of the history of Montana and I will tell you some of Bozeman's history. Bozeman*s original name was Farmington. On February 9, 1869, its name was changed to Bozeman in honor of John Bozeman, a distinguished pioneer, who was killed by the Blackfoot Indians. The first trail herd from Texas to Montana was trail¬ed by Nelson Story over the Bozeman Trail to Gallatin valley. Fort Ellis was established 2 miles east of Bozeman in Sept. 1867, because the Crow Indians were restive and needed watching. It was an important half way point for travelers coming and going to Yellowstone Park.
