    In 1805, Lewis and Clark heard cannon fire booming across the Montana plains—no army, no storm, no explanation. Native tribes had reported the same eerie sound for generations. Two centuries later, scientists still can&amp;#39;t fully solve the mystery of the &amp;quot;unaccountable artillery of the Rocky Mountains.&amp;quot; Web: https://www.bigskytreasure.org/history/mysteries/unaccountable-artillery #WorldHistory #USHistory #MTHistory #Montana #History #BSTS #Fourosix #MontanaToday #histodo...

    Before GPS, before gold rush outlaws, before Lewis &amp;amp; Clark — one ancient rock ruled southwestern Montana. Sacagawea knew it. Road agents robbed near it. Prospectors may have buried gold beside it. But is the treasure legend real history or frontier folklore? The answer is more fascinating than any buried cache.

    Montana’s Giant Springs pumps 156 million gallons a day from a 330-million-year-old aquifer — and feeds the world’s shortest river. Lewis and Clark were speechless.
