First constructed by Captain John Mullan in 1862 as part of the Mullan Military Road from Walla Walla, Washington to Fort Benton, Montana, the Benton Road became the major transportation route between Fort Benton and Helena, Montana. Illustrated with historic black and white and color photographs, this book offers a complete history of the Benton Road - from its construction to its inevitable usurpation by the Montana Central railroad.
