Join The Extreme History Project for our May lecture by John Russell, "The Story Cattle Drive" This lecture is free and open to the public.

Nelson Story’s prominence in Bozeman and southwest Montana emanated from his historic 1866 cattle drive from Texas to the Yellowstone Valley. John Russell discusses the drive, and how Story and his men overcame opposition from Kansas Jayhawkers, the U.S. Army, and the Sioux Nation to bring 1,000 head of longhorns into Montana territory.
