Big Horn Canyon – Mountain Men And The Fur Trade<\/strong><\/a>
\nSite includes photos and multimedia, links and articles. Getting to this area (Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area) brought the first mountain men and fur traders to the land in and around Bighorn Canyon, using what became known as the Bad Pass Trail. In 1807, St. Louis businessman Manuel Lisa organized a fur gathering journey. His outfit built Fort Raymond – the first permanent structure in what is today Montana – where the Bighorn River comes into the Yellowstone. It would take another 16 years before trappers again came through the Bighorn Canyon area. This would be done by the so called Mountain Men who were working for the Rocky Mountain Fur Company headed by business partners William Ashley and Andrew Henry. These mountain men inaugurated a ten year period from 1823 – 1833, where the Bad Pass Trail was heavily traveled.<\/p>\n

Time Travelers – Teaching American History in the Northwest<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe Time Travelers website was originally designed as part of an online professional development course for teachers, funded by a Teaching American History grant from the US Department of Education. Website content was developed collaboratively by the Regional Learning Project at the University of Montana and the UM history department.<\/p>\n

The wealth of material found within this website reflects the goal of the course to provide content-oriented professional development with a regional, interdisciplinary approach to learning about American history. This place-based approach allows teachers and students to \u201cstart locally, but think big\u201d, strengthening history research and thinking skills as they are first applied to the study of local documents, artifacts, and other source materials, and then interpreted in the context of large-scale national developments.<\/p>\n

The current website is a legacy from the Teaching American History grant, redesigned here for public use. Covering the years between 1790 and 1990, the website is organized into three chronological sections, each based on a 15-week semester developed for the online course. Throughout the course, broad themes of transportation, communication and energy development in the Northwest are placed in the context of American history.<\/p>\n<\/div>
