In September of 1989, on a Saturday morning in Billings Montana, a long stream of 2,812 cattle, 208 covered wagons, 3,337 horses and 2,581 people began flowing down the asphalt of Main Street in the Heights of Billings Montana. Along the sidewalks lining the streets as many as 30,000 people stood to watch. From Roundup, over the course of six days, the Great Montana Centennial Cattle Drive traveled 60 miles south to Billings, crossing the rolling terrain in a dusty blend of past and present, celebrating Montana's 100 years of statehood. 1994 publish date.
