The Montana Museum of Work History in Wye, Montana is located in a store with exhibits high on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. Like most Western museums, there is a collection of guns—mostly rifles with a few shotguns. Most are unlabeled and those with labels can’t be read without binoculars.

Mexico obtained independence from Spain in 1821 which meant that Arizona and New Mexico became Mexican provinces. Briefly described below are some of the American Indian events in these Mexican provinces during the 1820s.

The Pueblos are the village agriculturists of New Mexico and Northern Arizona. The Pueblos are not a single cultural group: they are politically, linguistically and culturally divergent. In addition to the Pueblos, the Mexican government also had to deal with nomadic groups, such as the Comanches (a group of Central Numic-speaking tribes closely related to the Shoshones) and the Navajos (a group of Athabascan-speaking tribes closely related to the Apaches).

While writing has been around for several thousand years, and movable type has been used in printing European languages since Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, the typewriter—a mechanic device using type similar to the moving type used in printing—wasn’t introduced until 1873.
