Remembering Journalist Sam Castan and His Deadly Ride with Crazy Horse

The rain on the tent’s roof was loud. I adjusted the Coleman lantern until the mantle barely glowed, checked the safety on my M16 and hung it near the door, noted where I’d put my helmet and flak vest, then removed my boots, loosened my belt, and stretched out on the canvas cot. I closed my eyes.

It was May 1966 and I wore sergeant’s stripes again. I was the 1st Cavalry Division press chief and worked a 24-hour shift every fourth night.

Pardee, Montana

The Iron Mountain district, located north of Superior along the Clark Fork River, was centered almost entirely on the Iron Mountain Mine, a producer of silver, lead, and zinc.

The discovery of the Iron Mountain Mine in 1888 is marked by both documented accounts and local legend. While official records credit L. T. Jones, popular stories recount that a boy searching for stray cattle stumbled upon rich ore and later led Jones to the site. Jones, together with partners D. R. S. Frazier and Frank Hall, shipped an initial ten tons of ore for assay, which yielded an impressive $1,400. This promising return attracted the attention of James K. Pardee, who soon acquired the property.
