A. Pioneer Trail Research Activities

In 1984 Dr. Russell started his avocation of pioneer trail research. His initial interest in the tread followed by Lewis and Clark eventually expanded to include all the major pioneer trails of Western Montana and Northern Idaho. For the Montana Statehood Centennial Year, 1989, he prepared map displays for the Meagher County Historical Association, the Bitter Root Historical Society, and St. Mary's Mission. His 1989 centennial story, "Traveling the Carroll Trail" appeared in the June 1, 1989 edition of the Meagher County News and received a second place award for Best Single Centennial Story in the Montana Better Newspaper Contest.

For most of his research, he has concentrated his efforts on the Lolo Trail System that encompasses the trail treads now known as the Northern Nez Perces Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail, the Nee-Mee-Poo Trail, the Bird-Truax Trail, and the Virginia City Lewiston Wagon Road. Steve's goal has been to precisely locate the extant trail tread and accurately document its location and existence. His research method involves computer analysis of archival records, map and navigation analysis, and field exploration. During his many years of field work, he has taken hundreds of photographs of the trail treads and various sites along the trail. Today, his involvement with the Lolo Trail System has expanded to include working with the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce tribal members on management and preservation planning.

In 1995, Dr. Russell was elected national president of the Nez Perce National Historic Trail Fundation, P.O. Box 20197, Missoula, Montana 59801. He also is the current web master for the Partnership for the National Trails System and acts as a technology consultant to the various trail organizations. ional Trails System and acts as a technology consultant to the various trail organizations.
