林肯于1864526日划分了蒙大拿地区

这是一片牛、羊能够拥有丰富牧草,拥有长山谷与高山,富产金矿与铜矿的土地。在1864526日,林肯总统签署法案,使这片土地成为美国的领土。你知道这里是哪里吗?这是范围广大的蒙大拿州,通常被称为「大天空的国土」 (Big Sky Country) 。

在内战期间的悲观日子里,林肯看着远离战火的蒙大拿,认为这片土地应该要有适当的管理。但是这片新领土在
1889年11月8日成为美国第41州之前,却发生了许多暴力冲突。


It was a place rich in grazing land for cattle and sheep, with long valleys and high mountains, producing gold and copper. On May 26, 1864, President Lincoln signed an act making it a territory of the U.S. What is it? It's the wide-open spaces of the state of Montana, often called "Big Sky Country."

During the dark days of the Civil War, Lincoln looked away from the fighting momentarily and decided the area now known as Montana needed governing. But violent clashes were to occur in the new territory before it became the 41st state in the Union on November 8, 1889.
