History

The Crow tribe called this waterway Buluhpa’ashe, “Plum river.” Capt. Meriwether Lewis named this central Montana river the Bighorn. On May 20, 1805, Capt. William Clark renamed it in honor of his future wife, Julia (Judith) Hancock. Beginning in the 1880s, the area surrounding the Judith River at Judith Landing was home to 2 large ranching operations: the DHS Ranch of A. J. and Erwin Davis, Samuel T. Hauser, and Granville Stuart; and the PN Ranch of Thomas C. Power and G. R. Norris.

    All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!

    What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.
