St. Paul to Livingston
view of Pompey's Pillar, climbed and named by Captain Clarke of the Lewis and Clarke expedition in 1806. I made a brief stop at Billings, where everything was lively, the cattle and sheep were being shipped to the stockyards and packing houses of Chicago, St. Paul and Omaha. The third crop of alfalfa was being cut in the country surrounding the city of Billings, and the immense stacks of hay loomed up in the distance, to be used for the winter feeding of the stock.
I followed the Yellowstone river to Livingston, arriving near the close of the summer travel to the Yellowstone National Park.
