History of the Mullan Trail

        One of the most impressive landmarks in the United States is the Mullan Trail.  This 624 mile long road tying Ft. Walla Walla in Washington and Ft. Benton in Montana, was built in the mid 1800’s by Lt. John Mullan, an army trained engineer.  Although built for military intent to deliver supplies to Ft. Walla Walla, the Mullan Trail was also heavily traveled by civilians.  Civilian travel was primarily homesteaders, gold rushers, and according to one record, a merchant with a band of camels delivering supplies into Montana.  The Mullan Trail was the first engineered road in Montana, and arguably the first in the Pacific Northwest.  On October 28, 1978, the American Society of Engineers dedicated the Mullan Trail as a National Historic Engineering Landmark.  We find evidence of the Mullan Trail still today, as it makes up in part much of Interstate 90.  A section of the Mullan Trail runs through Missoula, Montana, although the name has been altered to Mullan Road.

TRAGEDY IN THE MORTAGE INDUSTRY: On Thursday morning of June 11, the motrgage industry lost one of its most prominent agents. It is clear that Kevin Henry, a mortgage agent for Capital Family Mortgage in Missoula, had committed suicide, although it is not clear as to what preluded to the tragedy. He was born on March 1, 1965 in Rapid City, South Dakota. He entered into rest with the Lord on June 11, 2009 in Missoula, Montana. A funeral service was held on June 16 in Missoula and all flags around Montana were flown half-mast. Kevin is preceded in memory with his wife Tammy, his sons Joshua and Sean, and his daughter, Kaitlin. We honor Kevin's memory and his life so tragically lost on June 11.

- WITH ALL REGARDS
