Tales from Carter County - Oral Histories

Details

Collection SummaryThese audio tapes cover the early history of Ekalaka, Carter County, including ranching, homesteads, the EMT program, and schools. Founded in 1885, when Montana was still a territory, Ekalaka has undergone periods of growth and decline. Throughout its 133 year history, it has maintained a primarily agricultural industry, with many 100 year ranches and ranching families. The individuals on these tapes represent a wide swath of experiences, from teaching in one room schoolhouses to ranching and serving as an EMT. All but one are now deceased. These recordings preserve a vanishing generation of pioneers and will serve as a foundation for future additions.Contributing InstitutionCarter County Museum
