  • 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.

  • Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations 1768-1921
    Publication Number: M-2014 Publication Title: Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations, 1768-1921 Date Published: 1996 BURIAL REGISTERS FOR MILITARY POSTS, CAMPS, AND STATIONS 1768-1921 Introduction On the single roll of this microfilm publication, M2014, is reproduced a two-volume register of burials at military posts, camps, and stations from 1768 to 1921; however, the bulk of the burials occurred between 1860 and 1890. These registers are part of the Records of the Office of the Quartermaster General, Record Group (RG) 92. This publication was financed by The Malcolm H. Stern-NARA Gift Fund and the National Archives Trust Fund. Background The registers included on this microfilm were created by the Cemetery Branch, established shortly after the Civil War in the Office of the Quartermaster General, Washington, DC. Entries in the two volumes were based on each post's burial records or grave markers. The first volume was created in 1873, updated periodically until 1883, and updated sporadically until 1932. The second was created in 1883 and updated periodically until 1932. Some burials (generally those that occurred before 1883 in cemeteries that were still active in 1883) are listed in both volumes. In the book, Quartermaster Support of the Army: A History of the Corps, 1775-1939 (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1962, reprinted 1989), Erna Risch provided the following history of the quartermaster's role in burying deceased military personnel at military posts: Ever since 1775, the [War] Department had assumed certain duties in caring for the dead. In line with its responsibility for construction, repair, and maintenance at Army posts, quartermasters had long administered post burial grounds.
