In 1863, when Montana was first inva, ded by the gold- hunters, he fitted out several large HISTORY OF OMAHA. 219 wagon trains with merchandise for that territory, upon which immense sums were realized. The first of those Montana trains was composed of thirty teams, in charge of James Creighton, who in thirty days' sales made $33, 000, which he brought back to Omaha with him. The next year he took a train of forty mule teams to Montana, where Mr. John A. Creighton had remained as salesman, and ...the amount realized from this trip was $52, 000. There were others of Mr. Creighton's freight trains that turned out equally as well. In 1864 Mr. Creighton ventured into the cattle business in Nebraska, and the Indians ran off all his herds. He started again, this time on Laramie plains, he being the pioneer cattleman in that section of the west. He had im- mense herds of cattle roaming the plains, from which he supplied the Union Pacific construction trains with beef while that road was being built from Cheyenne westward.
