This overview focuses on the development and progress of hard rock & placer mining operations across Montana. The document consists of a comprehensive review of hard-rock & placer mines using unpublished records form out Cultural Resource Annotated Bibliography System (CRABS) files which were all gleaned in our effort to produce an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the historic mining activity in Montana. Mary Horstman of the United States Forest Service wrote the larger mining context in Chapter 2, and the chronology that follow is from Searching For The Mother Load, by Zane L. Fulbright. The Bureau of Land Management was responsible for providing a large portion of the financial backing which was essential.--Page I-1.
