    About this ebook

    Once known only as Siding 45, Glasgow, Montana, was named by a railroad clerk s random finger poke on a spinning globe in 1887. Resourceful land speculators lured its first homesteaders with the promise, Pin your faith in Glasgow and you shall wear diamonds. Successful farmers and cowboys initially made the community an agricultural center and the seat of Valley County. The 1930s drought and depression eras brought hard times, however, before the construction of the New Deal Fort Peck Dam helped reinvigorate Valley County communities. Faithful to their pioneer legacy, the people of the Hi-Line have more recently successfully refocused on long-established agriculture and developing tourism to continue the historic saga of northeast Montana.

    The stunning photographs included in this book were chosen by dedicated Valley County Historical Society volunteers after a painstaking search through Valley County Pioneer Museum archives and private photograph collections. Additional photographs were selected from the National Archives and historical society collections of Minnesota, Montana, and Washington. Local Valley County Historical Society members cooperatively authored the accompanying narrative of this richly detailed photographic history of Glasgow and Valley County.
