 Henry Craig of Missouri departed and arrived in Montana in 1892. Near Rockvale, he took up a homestead at the mouth of Rock Creek and the Clarks Fork River. The following year, he had enough money to send for his wife and 8-month Zilla. They came via a train boxcar filled with household essentials, two horses, milk cows and farm machinery. A small, deserted Indian cabin served as their home until 1898 when Henry constructed a log home out of materials hauled from the Pryor Mts. Near the home, young Zilla, dropped the doll on a piece of flagstone, splitting the head. Her industrious mother, lacking proper adhesive, pieced and adhered it together with paint. Evidently, the magic worked, Zilla and her doll remained tied to the homestead for nearly 100 years; she passing in 1994.    A pair of dapple grey horses that journeyed to Yellowstone Park in 1912. They belonged to the family of Aleline and Henry Craig. Pictured is their daughter Zilla Craig-Worth. Zilla was 12 when she visited the Park.
