Thomas Stuart Homestead Site: Historic Context Report
Thomas Stuart Homestead Historic Context Report Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site Avana Andrade Public Lands History Center at Colorado State University 2/1/2012 1 Thomas Stuart Homestead Site: Historic Context Report Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Deer Lodge Montana is currently developing plans for a new contact station. One potential location will affect the site of a late-nineteenth-century historic homestead. Accordingly, the National Park Service and the Montana State Historic Preservation Office need more information about the historic importance of the Thomas Stuart homestead site to determine future decisions concerning the contact station. The following report provides the historic contexts within which to assess the resource’s historic significance according to National Register of Historic Places guidelines. The report examines the site’s association with Thomas Stuart, a Deer Lodge pioneer, and the Menards, a French- Canadian family, and presents the wider historical context of the fur trade, Deer Lodge’s mixed cultural milieu, and the community’s transformation into a settled, agrarian town. Though only indications of foundations and other site features remain at the homestead, the report seeks to give the most complete picture of the site’s history. Site Significance and Integrity The Thomas Stuart homestead site is evaluated according to the National Register of Historic Places, a program designed in the 1960s to provide a comprehensive listing of the United States’ significant historic properties. Listing on the National Register officially verifies a site’s importance and requires park administrators or land managers to consider the significance of the property when planning federally funded projects. -

Thomas Mcgirl Yellowstone County's First White Resident Was Thomas Mcgirl. He Was Born in County Leitrim in Ireland in 1845, T
Thomas McGirl Yellowstone County’s first white resident was Thomas McGirl. He was born in County Leitrim in Ireland in 1845, the youngest of ten children. His father died a year later. This was the height of the great famine in Ireland, when people were desperate and starving. Somehow his mother was able to immigrate with her eight sons to America, settling at first in Rhode Island. There he received his scant schooling, but he left at age nine when the family moved to a farm in Missouri in 1855. When the Civil War came, McGirl and four of his brothers joined the Union Army. He served in Missouri, seeing only minor skirmishes. While still in the Army, his first experience on the frontier came on the job, hauling freight from Leavenworth, Kansas to Santa Fe, New Mexico, while the wagon teams were harried with raids on their stock. After his military service, McGirl returned to the family farm. In 1873, McGirl began working for the railroads as they expanded westward. Two years later, this landed him in Wyoming, building a railroad bridge at Rock Springs. From there, he made his way to Butte, where he worked in the mines, but also did construction work, working on the first brick building in what was then a glorified mining camp. Most settlers at the time arrived in Montana territory via the Bozeman Trail, and when Fort Keogh was established near present-day Miles City in the wake of the Little Bighorn battle, it was obvious that there would need to be a stage line between the two locations. -

The Development of the Montana Common School System, 1864-1884
The development of the Montana common school system, 1864-1884 by Dale Raymond Tash A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Montana State University © Copyright by Dale Raymond Tash (1968) Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the development of the Montana common school system during the formative period, 1864-1884, in order to better understand the problems facing the Montana schools today. In investigating the territorial period of Montana schools the problem resolved itself into answering the following questions: (1) What affect did politics have on the establishment of the early Montana schools? (2) Did Montana's first school law, passed in 1865, fail to provide a foundation for the development of the territorial common school system? (3) What steps led to the passage of the 1872 school law and what were the provisions of the law? (U) How did the 1872 school law work in operation? (5>) What factors influenced instruction in the territorial classrooms? (6) What were some of the factors influencing educational development in frontier Montana? Diaries, journals, personal papers, newspapers, House and Senate Journals, Session Laws, reports of national and territorial educational officers and United States government documents were analyzed to discover the answers to the preceding questions® The study was limited by available time and sources to an examination of the public common schools offering courses in grades one to eight between 1864, when the Organic Act was passed which made Montana a territory, and 1884, when a statehood convention was held® In investigating the development of the school system during the period 186U-188U the following conclusions were reached; 1. -
