Beaverhead Rock court hearing records, 1974.

This collection consists of questions and testimony recorded during the 1974 Beaverhead County court hearing regarding the state of Montana's purchase of Beaverhead Rock to establish a historical landmark. The pertinent issues include the appropriateness of the purchase and the difficulties involved in setting a price. E.E. "Boo" MacGilvra played an important role in the price negotiations (although the tape ends before the cross-examination of MacGilvra). The Montana Dept. of Fish and Game assumed the lead role in the purchase transaction.
