| Summary | "Then and Now; or, Thirty-Six Years in the Rockies" by Robert Vaughn is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents a personal narrative and reminiscences of the author's experiences as a pioneer in the Rocky Mountains, particularly focusing on the early days of Montana and the challenges faced during this period. The text reflects on themes such as exploration, the encounters with Native Americans, the discoveries of gold, and the transformation of the landscape from a wilderness to more settled communities. The opening portion introduces Vaughn's early life in Wales and his journey to America, detailing his motivations for settling in Montana. He recalls vivid memories of his parents, his longing for adventure, and the decisions that led him to cross the plains in search of fortune during the 1860s gold rush. As he transitions from his childhood home to the rugged realities of pioneer life, he describes his travels, the friendships he formed, and the hardships endured along the way. This narrative sets the stage for a rich exploration of the history of Montana, the experiences of fellow pioneers, and the complex relationships with Native American tribes, establishing a personal connection with the readers from the very beginning.
