This is the story of Fort Connah, the last Hudson's Bay Company trading post in the continental United States. The fort was central to the early fur trading era of northwestern Montana but its story has languished over the years through neglect and the fact that history, literally, passed it by. Located some six miles south of Ronan, Montana, and immediately east of U.S. Highway 93 along Post Creek, one remnant building of the old trading post remains standing, labeled by many historians as the oldest standing man-made structure in Montana. With a Foreword by noted historian Dr. Harry W. Fritz, chairman of the Department of History at the University of Montana.Jeanne O'Neill is the author of 'Fort Conah' with ISBN 9781931291170 and ISBN 1931291179.
