Great Falls, Montana

The Missouri River rushes and pounds over the falls near the city of Great  Falls, carving its route through granite bluffs and pine hills, then it drops over 500 feet in less than ten miles.  In his history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Captain Lewis tells how his ears were saluted with the agreeable sound of falling water, toward  which he directed his steps and thus discovered the Great Falls of the Missouri.  From these falls, the city got its name.  One of the falls was named Black Eagle Falls by Lewis and Clark, for an  eagle that roosted in the top of a broken cottonwood tree.  It was from this eagle that Black Eagle Chapter took its name.  The chapter was organized December 11, 1919, by  Mrs. Millennie Miller Rogers, organizing regent.
