A Life with Horses: A Mission Valley cowboy
He vowed that one day he would ride with them, that they wouldn't leave him at home.
Since he was a boy watching cowboys through the corral fence, Lee Lytten dreamed of being a cowboy, dreamed of the day when he'd get paid to chase cattle, to start colts, to get paid ropin' and ridin' on the range.
The dream has become reality for Lytten, who each day rises to the sun breaking over the jagged spires of the Mission Mountains, spilling light over the fields and pastures of his ranch near Pablo. Lytten puts on his worn leather chaps and sets out to work in the corrals just out the front door of his house, his gait slow but deliberate. |

Early Montana leader Heinze had role in establishing Federal Reserve
One of Montana's most colorful early entrepreneurs, F. Augustus Heinze, not only had a major impact on that state's copper mining industry, but he may also be closely linked to events that eventually led to the formation of the Federal Reserve System. It is generally accepted that the Panic of 1907—a credit crunch that spread from New York to the whole country, closing banks and businesses—was the major impetus for the formation of the Federal Reserve System. While the nation had considered central banking systems in the past, it was the severity of the Panic of 1907 (the fourth in 34 years) that inspired congressional action leading to establishment of the Fed. |
