T.C. Power came to Fort Benton, Montana in 1867, very early in the history of Montana. He was able to parlay the small amount of merchandise he had purchased on credit (or "jawbone" as he described it) into a VERY lucrative business empire. He later became a US Senator from Montana, and died a wealthy and noteworthy Montana pioneer.
