Take a picnic and hike to the top of a buffalo jump for impressive views of the Madison River Valley. Buffalo bones still lie buried at the cliff's base, and archaeologists have located the tipi rings of an extensive village.

Situated on the edge of a broad valley carved by the Madison River, this high...

When Harriet's parents passed away within less than a year of each other, Harriet was just turning 18. This was in 1922 and...
