We’ve all heard about homesteading, the land grant program that encouraged people to settle the west. Homesteaders were told it was a land of milk and honey. Randy Morger of Fort Benton’s River and Plains Society, tells us what it was really like.

(Broadcast: "Home Ground Radio", 12/13/15. Listen on the radio or online, Sundays at 11:10 a.m., or via podcast.)
