You can research patents online using dates. I found the bottom of a bottle with a date on it from the late 1800s on our place. It was a whiskey bottle (what else?). I read that in Montana 80,000 people homesteaded during the heyday and 60,000 left, usually after the first drought year. Yea, they were lied to.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986249712144982103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-75827095459148174562010-11-04T21:46:44.094-07:002010-11-04T21:46:44.094-07:00What a gorgeous ride!

I think the equipment is from the late 1800's, it probably wasn't new when it was abandoned, and I remember finding old stuff like that all over the ranch on the Owyhee High Desert.Cowgirl in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02414017839321850224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-19451373998571714162010-11-04T12:12:23.306-07:002010-11-04T12:12:23.306-07:00We are now living on homestead property in Powder ...We are now living on homestead property in Powder River County MT - its hay ground, and I couldnt imagine planting anything without irrigation - they really were fed a bunch of hooey by the railroad bigwigs/government at that time, we have one of the original RR pamphlets, it reads like heaven! and then the drought hit, it must have been so terrible, the losses...<br /><br />But that looking for cows job beats laundry anyday! thanks for sharing your photos!Janice Grinyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363741660626407979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-18272138221630338462010-11-04T12:04:19.583-07:002010-11-04T12:04:19.583-07:00How fun I love the old barn and stuff.
