Sidney, Montana
Sidney is a city in and the county seat of Richland County, Montana, United States,[4] less than 10 mi (16 km) away from the North Dakota border. The population was 5,191 at the 2010 census.[5] The city lies along the Yellowstone River and is in proximity to the badlands of the Dakotas. Sidney is approximately midway between Glendive, Montana and Williston, North Dakota.
Settlers began arriving in the area in the 1870s, and a post office was established in 1888. Six year old Sidney Walters and his parents were staying with Hiram Otis, the local justice of the peace, and Otis decided that Sidney was a good name for the town. The following year, Montana became a state and Sidney was incorporated in 1911. [1]
Sidney was originally part of Dawson County, but became the county seat of Richland County at its inception in 1914.
Agriculture became an important part of the region after the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project was completed in 1909. A dam was built on the river south of Glendive, which diverted water from the river into a 115.2 km (71.6 mi) main canal, which runs north-south, parallel to the Yellowstone, irrigating land from Glendive north up to Fairview, where it dumps into the Missouri River. This project irrigates 51,429 acres (208.13 km2) and serves water to 450 farms, according to the manager of the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Districts.
The area experienced an oil boom and bust in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bringing an influx of people to the town for a short period of time. Around the start of the 21st century, the town started experiencing another surge in oil exploration activity.
The town's museum, the MonDak Heritage Center, was founded in 1967. The museum houses artifacts and archives that detail the history of life in eastern Montana and western North Dakota since the first pioneers arrived in the late 19th century.
Sidney relies heavily on farming, ranching, and oil production for economic stability. The surrounding countryside is populated with many farms and cattle ranches, plus oil exploration activity. The area's main cash crop are sugar beets, and Sidney is home to a sugar beet factory, built in 1925. The factory is the largest employer in the city, next to the Sidney Health Center and Sidney Public Schools. The town is served by Sidney-Richland Municipal Airport, one mile (1.6 km) west of the central business district.
The city has two community newspapers, The Sidney Herald and The Roundup.

19:03:50 President & Nancy Reagan in front of chorus w/ blond singer, Tammy Wynette; Reagan Yeh, sit down! I never would have thought of that. Well, Before I talk about these wonderful entertainers who have been so generous & kind w/ their entertainment & so wonderful, I want to thank -- at the beginning of the evening -- I want to thank my good friend from California, & the other good friends w/ him & his troop, our barbecuers from Santa Maria, California, who came here all the way to barbecue. I'd thank Roger Williams, except he isn't here to hear that. The reason he came down & said good-bye was, he had to catch a plane. So, he's on his way. And we appreciate his talent I know, and we certainly all appreciate Tammy Wynette.
19:05:10 You were nervous? I had goose bumps. Tammy was beautiful. And thank you so very much for being with us. And you know, I'm going to get a record of that & send it up to these ladies & gentlemen on the Hill (laughter). Stand By Your Man. I like the whole idea.
19:05:40 And finally, this Army Chorus, it's always an inspiration to hear you. And of course, the Marine Orchestra has left us already. And they were wonderful in their part of the program, & this orchestra & your company that is with you, Tammy. We're most grateful to all of you.
19:06:12 I think one of the great pleasures that Nancy and I have had is getting to know so many of you personally in these 20 months that we've been here, & to discover that we can disagree & still be agreeable. And on the Republican side, your support and guidance has been a valuable asset. I don't take it for granted. There's one thing, you can't be called a rubber stamp (laughter), I found that out on the tax bill.

Top stories on Montana this Morning for Thursday, Dec. 28, 2017.
Dr. Jeremy Johnston with Theodore Roosevelt, the Unscrupulous Concessioner, and the Insane Adversary
Dr. Jeremy M. Johnston is the Tate Endowed Chair of Western History, Goppert Curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum, and Managing Editor of The Papers of William F. Cody. In this lecture, Dr. Johnston presents Theodore Roosevelt, the Unscrupulous Concessioner, and the Insane Adversary.
In the fall of 1902, James Fullerton, a resident of Red Lodge, Montana, accused Major John Pitcher, the military superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, of incompetence and corruption. Fullerton claimed Pitcher turned a blind eye towards poachers and saloon keepers. He also alleged Pitcher provided political favors to concessioner Harry Child, whose Yellowstone Park Association held a lodging and transportation monopoly in the park, at the expense of other entrepreneurs within the park. President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yellowstone in 1903 and assured the public that Fullerton’s claims against Pitcher were utterly false. However, Fullerton, likely backed by the troublesome Ella Collins Waters who ran the steamboat concession and a questionable animal display located on Dot Island, continued to criticize Roosevelt’s management of Yellowstone.
Eventually, the courts deemed Fullerton insane and committed him to an asylum, an action that inspired his later attacks against Roosevelt in his book Roosevelt’s Adversary. Regardless of Fullerton’s public attacks, Roosevelt supported the operations of effective concessioners while at the same time taking decisive action to expel those who did not adhere to park policies, such as Waters. For the remainder of his presidency, Roosevelt backed the military administration of Yellowstone and their efforts to protect the wildlife and ensure visitors received proper services from concessioners who held leases within the park. Roosevelt’s challenge to Fullerton’s criticisms and his expulsion of Waters from Yellowstone significantly diminished the notion that political connections guaranteed the protection of a few unscrupulous and monopolistic concessioners within Yellowstone, contributing to the further advance of the vision of Yellowstone National Park existing “for the benefit and the enjoyment of the people.”
Johnston attended the University of Wyoming, from which he received his Bachelor of Arts in 1993 and his Master of Arts in 1995. He earned his PhD in American Studies at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2017. His doctoral dissertation examined the personal and professional relationship between Theodore Roosevelt and William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, soon to be published by University of Oklahoma Press. Johnston published various articles in Annals of Wyoming, Colorado Heritage, Points West, Readings of Wyoming History, and Yellowstone Science. Johnston is the recipient of the 2006 Coke Wood Award, sponsored by Westerners International, for his article “Progressivism Comes to Yellowstone: Theodore Roosevelt and Professional Land Management Agencies in the Yellowstone Ecosystem.” Collaborating with Dr. Charles Preston, former curator of the Center’s Draper Natural History Museum (now Curator Emeritus and Senior Scientist), he published an annotated version of Ernest Thompson-Seton’s Wahb: The Biography of a Grizzly, published by University of Oklahoma Press.

SUMMARY
=======
The Western United States (also called the American West, the Far West, and the West) is the region comprising the westernmost states of the United States. As European settlement in the U.S. expanded westward through the centuries, the meaning of the term the West changed. Before about 1800, the crest of the Appalachian Mountains was seen as the western frontier. The frontier moved westward and eventually the lands west of the Mississippi River were considered the West.Though no consensus exists, even among experts, for the definition of the West as a region, the U.S. Census Bureau's definition of the 13 westernmost states includes the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin to the West Coast, and the outlying states, Alaska and Hawaii.
The West contains several major biomes, including arid and semi-arid plateaus and plains, particularly in the American Southwest; forested mountains, including two major ranges, the American Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains; the massive coastal shoreline of the American Pacific Coast; and the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest.
