RARE Original Antique Photo ARMSTEAD MONTANA 1915 ~ SACAGAWEA Memorial Indians

Description

Great early original photo taken in Armstead, Montana on August 30, 1915. There was a celebration in Armstead that day with hundreds of people present along with many Lemhi Shoshone Indians for the purpose of dedicating a memorial for SACAGAWEA, the Indian maiden who created a position in American history for herself for the aid she rendered the Lewis & Clark expidition. Mrs. Irene Halterman, of Helena, a great granddaughter of Sacagawea was also present at the dedication. A large bronze tablet was provided by William A. Clark from his foundry in New York and this was placed on a huge boulder brought in on the Oregon Short Line railroad. The newly built Hotel McIntyre is visible in the background.
