Travel to missoula, montana. With a population of about 66,000, montanas second largest city sits on the western part of the state in the heart of the northern rocky mountains. Over the next hour, well learn about the history of missoula and the surrounding region. Missoula is located in the western part of montana. We probably claim it to be the largest city inside the rocky mountains. Because we have a branch to our east and a branch to the west. So were located in the heart of western montana. In a very ferre tile area. When captain christopher p. Higgins established missoula, actually established hellgate first, which is the immediate predecessor, it was because, it was the nexus, it was the hub in western montana. Because to the north youve got the mission and to the south youve got an increasing settlement in the Bitterroot Valley and in 1860 you have lieutenant john mullin completing the military road from fort benton in the east to walla walla in the west.

Its not going well. The union is losing. They start a draft this 1863, but you want to talk about inequality . In that draft you could buy your way out for 200. So the rich never served the union cause unless they were noble, unless they had a higher calling. For 200 you could get out of the draft, or you could present a live person. So if i brought you in and said, bruce, youre going to take my place, i wouldnt have to serve. I would have paid you to be my body. This really ticked off the irish. They could not pay for this.
