DEDICATION


This blog is dedicated to the memory of my late wife, Johanna L. Hardesty, who passed away unexpectedly on 2 April 2022. She was not only my constant companion, but my research partner as well. She was, among other things, a superb researcher. This blog would not exist without her invaluable input.

JAMES J. HILL

 J. J. Hill played a large part in the opening of Montana to settlement, and much ink has been spilled about him and his activities. It is known that he played a part in the founding of Kalispell, but the details have been muddled quite a bit.

I've uploaded a new page which will shed some light on just what parts J. J. Hill and Charley Conrad played in the founding of the town.

Check it out!.
