One hundred
and sixty years years ago Coal Banks Landing was the northern most
"port" on the Missouri River. |
|
Steamboats
unloaded goods at the landing. From Coal Banks Landing the
material was hauled by ox-drawn wagon to |
|
Fort Assiniboine near Havre,
Montana. If you listen closely you might hear the
"Bullwackers" coax the ox teams up this road. |

Every year approximately 7,000 people float the Missouri River
between |
|
Fort Benton, Montana and the Fred Robinson bridge (148
miles). Here is a little preview of the stop at Virgille,
Montana. |
