Rockglen’s history

Collection

Rockglen sits in the Burning Hills of the Wood Mountain Uplands, a country of petrified wood and fossils where the Assiniboine, Plains Cree and Blackfoot once left their hammers and arrows. After the Battle of Little Bighorn, about 5,000 Lakota followers of Sitting Bull fled to these uplands, where they came under the North-West Mounted Police and Major James Morrow Walsh. The name Burning Hills traces to 1879, when fires set by the U.S. Cavalry in Montana spread and burned the grasslands, bringing famine.
