Okay, so this isn't totally complete, but I think that it is a pretty good start. I forgot to number and alphabetize the list, and there are several other errors, but compared to what I had a week ago, I am very satisfied. The LofC is actually pretty easy, if you're patient enough to put up with a lot of B.S. I also got a phone number to the Montana Historical Society, which will do research for you for, I think, $20 per 6 pages or half hour, or something like that.
By the way, I changed my topic since last post. It's now about W.A. Clark, a copper baron who, apparently abused an already corrupt Montana political machine to gain a Senate seat. He, apparently, doesn't have any personal manuscripts, but many of those he dealt with have a lot in the Montana historical society. In addition to this info, I intend to use newspaper articles, but I wanted to get the more difficult info first. The newspapers should be easy.
