I am very proud of Roundup Montana. Independence Day celebrations were awesome!! Lot's of Red, white and blue and support for President Trump, slogans and banners. We Americans have been through hell in last the several years, and to see us all pull together on such a important day in our country's history was incredible. I have felt down at times but July 4th in Roundup Montana has lifted my spirits. THANK YOU to all who made this day so mesmerizing and patriotic. USA..USA..USA all the damn way! To hell with Joe Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and China and Russia what real American needs these people in their lives?

In my research concerning the history of Roundup, I have run across a variety of names identifying creeks, rivers (namely Musselshell), early communities in the area, even roads. For example, the road we refer to as Number Four Road is named after the Number Four Coal Mine that was located on what was recently Alfred Adolph’s ranch. That mine, active in the early 1900’s, was also known as Davis Coal Mine around which sprung the small community of Davis. Musselshell River was named by the Lewis and Clark expedition for the mussels that were so prevalent along the Missouri River where the Musselshell flowed into it. Names of creeks, like Fattig Creek, no doubt have stories for how they received their names. Nowhere in any of my research, however, have I come across the story of how “Half-breed Creek” got its name. It is identified as such by James Hightower, one of the early ranchers who arrived in the area around 1802. If anyone knows any stories about origins of that name, please let me know.
