E. C. “Teddy Blue” Abbott: The Texas Trail and the Open Range

MHS Museum Technician Vic Reiman shares the tale of Teddy Blue Abbott who came to Montana with a Texas trail herd in 1883 and lived in Montana for the rest of his life. Abbott recorded his experiences in his book, "We Headed Them North," which today gives us a rare view of what cowboy life was really like when cows were wild.
