Hamilton

My friend asked a 16 year old about which bars were good. PROBABLY not the person to ask!

To any Hamilton, Montana cowboys out there who are enjoying my 43things entries, please note that I have been happily married to the father of my two children for over 14 years and am not about to abandon them for a Montana cowboy lifestyle. But thank you for the interest, it was flattering.

“Marcus Daly (1841-1900) emigrated to America with his impoverished parents. At 15 he was working as a pick-and-shovel man, but his innate ability was recognized by mining experts who sent him to Butte, Montana. Here he progressed so rapidly that he entered a partnership to buy the Alice Silver Mine and the Anaconda Silver Mine. When the silver gave out, he caught the great copper boom and amassed a fortune. A man of wide interests, he developed fruit-growing in Montana and owned and trained some of the finest racehorses. Success did not go to his head. He never lost touch with his former pick-and-shovel friends to whom he gave considerable help.”
