HENRY COMSTOCK
By Joey

Nicknamed Old Pancake real name Henry
Lots of badness in him
Making his way by gold
In Nevada,
Where Irish found some gold,
Claimed the land and got his
Share.
His big mouth got 11 gland.
He spent it quick,
Moved to Bozeman and died
With none of it.


Business Reports
Berg Law Firm

By Joey Manship & Ian Strahr


    We got to work at the Berg Law Firm.  When we got there, we made folders.  First we put prongs in folders.  Then we taped the prongs.  We worked in the basement and got to drink soda.  As you can see, working at Berg Law Firm was a blast.

    Berg Law Firm has some very interesting history.  The building they are in now is 100 years old and thought to be haunted.  Ben Berg is the owner.  When they were located at Tech Park, Mike Lilly, Gig Follfen, John Glover, and Rienne M.C. Ellen owned it as well.  Many events have occurred while they were running.  Some of them are: Mt. Saint Helens, hurricanes, and the San Francisco earthquake.  I think Berg Law Firm has great history.

    The Berg Law Firm has many interesting details about it.  They have only fourteen employees.  They see mostly older people in their one store.  Berg Law Firm helps people get divorced, start a business, and provide real estate.  The most unusual thing they do is washing pigeon poop off the sidewalks.  That is a good description of Berg Law Firm.

    Berg Law Firm has many opinions. Some of the challenges the Berg Law Firm faces are parking and storage space.  Other law firms are their biggest competitors.  Liza likes to work here.  So if you go to Berg Law Firm, have fun and make your own opinion.
 
Bozeman To Other Cities

Bozeman vs. West Yellowstone
by Joey

    Here are some of the best things about Bozeman. It’s small and there are not many houses. There are not many people but most of are pretty nice. I also like it there because there is a lot of nature. In winter there is a lot of snow. Those are some of the best things about Bozeman.
    Here are some of the best things about West Yellowstone. It has less people than in Bozeman. The people there are even nicer than the people in Bozeman. There are not many bad people. There is a lot more nature there than there is in Bozeman.
    I prefer West Yellowstone more because it’s small. There’s more nature, I also grew up there. There is a lake to fish and do water sports. So West Yellowstone is my favorite!


Opera House

Main Street
Bozeman, MT 59715
Nov. 15, 2005
Dear Joey Manship,
     I am a very interesting building, I was done being built in 1893.  To raise all of the money for me, the people of Bozeman had to vote three times.  The train started coming to Bozeman in 1883, so it made all of the construction her much easier.  It took one year to build me, so I hope you like me.
     I think they should rebuild me.  Make it so you can see the mural.  I also think they should put glass in front of the mural.  If you rebuild me, I think you should try to find the original plans and try to copy them.  That’s what I think.
                    Sincerely,
                    The Opera House

Historical Fiction

John Bozeman’s Death
By Joey

    One day, at about lunchtime, John Bozeman and Tom Cover were eating lunch, when some Indians came over and pretended to be friendly.  Early the next morning, they discovered that the Indians were Blackfeet.  They shot and killed John but only wounded Tom. Tom went back to Bozeman and told what had happened. 
    There are many other theories, but I think this is what happened.

What I think About Things
Joey

I think that it is important to study Bozeman because it is kind of dumb not to know anything about where you live. Take Bozeman for example, some people have lived here for two years and don’t even know who he is.
I think that it is important to study Bozeman history because history is a good tool in life. One time in knew a lot about mythology and I didn’t have to do it. But I think it is just a good thing to know. That’s my essay
