(詳細はMontana Territory and the state of Montana. Individuals listed played significant roles in the exploration and settlement of the region as well as the cultural, economic, military, political, and social development of Montana. Montana is a state located in the Western United States. Added to the U.S. in 1803 and shortly thereafter explored by Lewis and Clark, the territory was home to numerous Native American peoples for millennia. In the mid-19th century the discovery of gold and other valuable minerals led to successive mining booms. Settlement by farmers and ranchers expanded as railroads raced to build networks of tracks linking Montana to Utah to the south, Minneapolis to the east, and Seattle to the west. Montana produced numerous important politicians from both political parties, as well as entrepreneurs who founded cities and built large mining, timber, cattle and other related industries. Individuals have been placed in the period in which they most contributed to Montana history. ==Pre-territorial period== * William Clark (explorer), leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) * Meriwether Lewis, leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) * Lieutenant John Mullan, (1830–1909), supervised the building of the first wagon road across the northern Rocky Mountains in 1859–1860 from Fort Benton, Montana to Walla Walla, Washington, the Mullan Road. * Henry Plummer, (1832–1864) served as sheriff of Bannack, Montana, from May 24, 1863 until January 10, 1864, when he was hanged without trial by the Vigilance Committee of Alder Gulch * Sacagawea, Indian guide for Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) * Father Pierre-Jean De Smet (30 January 1801 – 23 May 1873), also known as Pieter-Jan De Smet, was a Belgian Roman Catholic priest and member of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), active in missionary work among the Native Americans of Western Montana in the mid-19th century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of people in Montana history」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
