Augustus Franklin Crail Inducted into
Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame!
Christy Stensland, Executive Director of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame, notified us on May 13 that Augustus Franklin "Frank" Crail has been inducted into the Class of 2013.

The Hall of Fame showcases the lives of true Montana cowboys and how they entertwined with the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans and settlers of Montana.

Our nominating letter, composed by Historic Crail Ranch Conservator Anne Marie Mistretta, outlines Crail's ranching activities from the 1870s until his passing in 1924.
