Bozeman, Montana

Rain in the Face, “Iromagaja”, Hunkpapa Sioux (1835-1905)

June 1995

Greetings from beautiful Montana! Our family reunion was fantastic and accommodations, food, weather – perfect. We even did a float on the Madison river. The third generation put on a rodeo and Melissa took 2 “firsts”. See you around the 5th.

Bruce and June

A warrior in the truest sense, Rain in the Face counted many coups during the days of the Red Cloud Wars. He came to public note after his escape from the stockade at Fort Lincoln and united a band of hostiles that eventually helped defeat Custer on the Little Bighorn. Photograph by Frank B. Fiske, C. 1902.

Glacier, Montana

June, 1991

We are canoeing on Lake Swiftcurrent today which is only a .2 mile portage away from Lake Josephine. Others were on horses seeing another lake. The weather is not great – mucho rain and there is still lots of snow in the park in some of the campsites! But the scenery is beautiful – Real mountains. So far have seen 3 or 4 deer, chipmunks, rabbits, jays and 1 bear (from a distance!).

Magnificent Mt. Gould and the Garden Wall are the backdrop for Lake Josephine. Less than one mile hike, or a short boat ride, take the visitor to the beautiful lake, one of 250 in Glacier National Park. The unique flower, Beargrass, is a member of the Lily family, and can be found in nearly all areas of the park.
