History 7th
This is a one semester class. We start with a
look at the geography of our state. Then we review
of the lives of the native peoples from pre-contact
and post-contact with Europeans. Next we look
at the explorations of Americans and Europeans in
what is now Montana. From there we follow the
history of mining in Montana. Mining leads us to
the development of the railways in Montana.
Railways lead to homesteading and the development
of towns in Montana. From this point on
we are solidly into the 20th century in Montana.
We will follow the events of World War 1, The Great
Depression, World War 2, to the
1960's in Montana. The text we use is
MONTANA: Stories ofthe Land
written by the Montana Historical Society.
