so it remained bozeman. but i was curious about nelson's story since his name was plastered all over the place here. i just wanted to find out more about it. there has not been a full-length biography about him, so over the years, i put it together. nelson story was one of the more successful western capitalists in the history of the american west. if you take a step back and try and name others, you come up with leland stanford in california. i'm sure that name rings a bell area you would have john creighton from nebraska. john e live from northern colorado, and all of those people were very good. they started the most part and gold-mining. after making some headway in gold-mining, investments in railroads, mercantilism, et cetera, cattle ranches, so their wealth and their prominent and their respective areas just catapulted. it is the same thing with nelson story. you could name just about any industry that was important in the american west, ranching, cattle, real estate my flour milling, banking, and he

can you talk about the relationship between bozeman and the park. >> bozeman was an agricultural community. rather than so many of montana's communities which were mining. near it, to the west, was virginia city. so montana's history is bound up in mining. those miners who jumped across from idaho and earlier, california, in 1850's, jumped across into montana and those miners spread out looking for the gulch is as they called them. so they looked in yellowstone, but they did not really make a gold strike. that was fortunate for yellowstone. it probably saved the national park, the fact that there was not a gold strike. or we would have had a gold strike there instead of a national park. so bozeman pretty early became an outfitting point for yellowstone, as did virginia city. and i think that is the key connection. is that those two towns, as early as 1880, were in a kind of competition. and virginia city quickly lost that battle of being an outfitting point. they were too far away. bozeman, only 75 miles away for the north entrance, one that battle - won that battle. yellowstone was alread

army insulations situated along the bozeman trail, a shortcut to the gold fields of the west. the form was commanded by colonel henry carrington. >> carington, the colonel who was hired to build the fort. he decided to put the fort in its location where we are today instead of moving it up north on the tongue river. we've had officials come through that said this is a strategically smart location to pace mr. the fort. it has national -- natural benches and carington has cared -- carried out the shame and dimensions of the fort before he came west. he gets here in july, friday the 13th of 1866 and on his way, red cloud has basically delivered the message to him that he's going to have to fight for every day that the military is here. and it's at that point that carington really realizes how deep he is. ow in over his head he is. wives and children have come out with him. they think they're at peace. but red cloud understands the history of expansion in the west. there are 562 recognized tribes in north america and by 1866 red cloud has seen and has heard the stories of how all

army situations that army station situated on the bozeman trail -- army stations situated on the bozemanrail. was hired tol who he how theort, fort's location stance of moving it up the sheridan. we have military strategist that said this natural bench and thus landscape is actually a strategically smart location to place the fort. carrington had drawn up the shape and plans for the fort before he came west and he decided this was going to be the best place for it. he gets here in july of 1866. the messages delivered to him that he is going to have to fight every day the military is here. it's at that point carrington really realizes how deep he is, how in over his head he is. and children have come out with him. 562 tribes in north america. a first throughout north america. the cheyenne, arapaho and dakota people, he makes a very strong showing against fort phil kearney. we think there was an attempt in where there were disappointed warriors. leadership didn't go over. can't defend any battles that may happen. it's going to be difficult to get the house built out there. carrington says

. >> ted bought the flying d ranch outside of bozeman, montana in 1989 a crown jewel he thought, where dream could finally be realized. >> this has always been historically a cattle ranch, and converting it to bison, people are worried about bison not staying on the property. they were worried about their own livestock. they were worried about disease transmissions. >> he alienated a lot of local people. it was an audacious thing to say i'm going to replace all the cattle with bison. >> absolutely crazy. absolutely crazy. >> when these cattle ranchers and other people came to you and said ted, this is cattle land, why are you doing bison here? >> it's bison land. the bison were here before the cattle. the cattle came over from europe. the bison were already here. >> ted was battling perception on a personal front as well. his public image preceded him. >> it's really hard for me to face anything without offending somebody, so what i'll try and do is be totally democratic and try and offend everybody. >> riding into town was the sharp-tongued media mogul and his movie star bride. >> the

bureau federation rather than his cabinet worse of all this story got no follow-up press even in bozemanntana, which shows how murky is the moment the news broke, the market sold off. how could mnuchin and lighthizer look at that action and say nothing to the president or the market in general hey, if you want to sabotage the trade talks this would be a great way to do it the president and the stock market deserve better. my ultimate takeaway don't get your opens up about a trade deal until you see it in writing. until we get an actual deal it is impossible to tell what's really going on. i wish i knew what lighthizer and mnuchin were up to was this some kind of stand off between the hawk answer doves? were they trying to evade blame or just clueless and just not even inform the president of the united states? i don't know neither do you so the next time you hear some story point trade negotiations from a random nongovernmental source, hey, maybe you should take it with a grain of salt stick with cramer. had a coach i. really helped me up my game. i had a coach. math. ooh. so, why don't
