“Washington [D.C.] is not a place to live. The rent is high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man. Go West, and grow up with the country.” — attributed to Horace Greeley

Garnet, Mont., was once a place for adventurous young men to seek their fortunes. Located 30 miles east of Missoula, the town stands as a remnant of a more freewheeling time in American history, when the frontier mentality drove Americans west. One of many boomtowns during the gold rushes of the 19th century, Garnet was core to the American experience for the first hundred years of this country’s life.
