North to the Gold Fields on the Montana Trail

In his research, Montana Historical Society Museum technician Vic Reiman learned why it was a bad idea to sit on the upwind side of a stagecoach when the driver was chewing tobacco. He shares that and other gems in his discussion of emigrant travels to Montana in the 1860s, especially via the trails north from the Emigrant Road in southern Idaho and, later, from the railheads at Corinne and Ogden, Utah.
