Cruickshank has en in- teresting collector's item, secured when he was travelling in the Un- ited States, It is a reprint of The Montana Post, a newspaper which was published in the early days of settlement in the American West at City of Virginia, Montana Ter- ritory. The reprint is an exact cluphente of the paper which was published on Saturday, August 26th, 1865. All the Old type faces are copied in exact detail and the printing was done on paper which appeared to be yellow with age. In 1865 the entire United States was suffering from the painful sa termath of the American Civil War. One story tells of the end- less lines of former Southern troops waiting in Washington for ,passage back to their homes. Another item mentions that since the e»,1 of tie War several newspapers had beet started by negroes or in the in- terests of the colored people, An advertisement in the old pa- per sought the names of those whr wanted to travel from the Montana Territory back to "the States". Pas- sage was offered on a fleet of 35- foot Mackinaw boats. The fare from Virginia City to St. Joseph. Missouri was $40.00 and the man in charge of the, trip was said to be highly experienced in Indian affairs. Apparently a good many people reached Virginia City and then dis- appeared into the great unknown, for the paper carried a list of sev- eral hundred names, persons to whom letters had been addressed and which had never been picked up at the post office. eel In Ceeptember, 19.49 In August, 1944 he 'was appointed to the Ilah Field Regiment when It MU) rno- hllized nerved -overeetla With the unit.
