Andrew Cook was a Montana railroad contractor, state auditor,
and later internationally known Hereford cattle breeder and rancher. Collection (1882-1940)
consists of general correspondence, primarily concerning the A.B. Cook Stock Farms in
Broadwater County; financial records; legal documents; reports; subject files; and financial
and business records for Cook's ranching and contracting interests. There are subgroups for
several of Cook's construction, ranching, and real estate businesses.

Andrew Braid Cook was born on February 2, 1864, in Dundee, Wisconsin, the son of Cornelius
and Margaret A. (Braid) Cook. After finishing his education in the public schools of Racine,
Wisconsin, Cook attended the Spencerian Business College in Milwaukee and then became a
bookkeeper for Charles J. Russell's coffee business in Milwaukee.
In 1883 he moved to Montana, where he held a variety of jobs over the next few years. He
worked briefly shipping cattle for the 79 Ranch, as a clerk in the Blue Front Store in
Billings, as a mule-skinner for a survey party on the Crow Indian Reservation, and as
baggage master for the newly opened Northern Pacific Railroad office in Helena. He gained
experience in railroad building working for Hugh Kirkendall and Peter Larson and for W.H.
Guthrie and Company, including building the Wickes tunnel on the Montana Central Railroad
south of Helena.
In 1889 he opened a real estate office in Missoula, in partnership with Frank W. McConnell.
After McConnell, Cook and Company dissolved in 1892, Cook continued the business under his
own name. He continued to manage his Missoula real estate holdings for the rest of his life,
while devoting his major attention to his other occupations.
A.B. Cook was elected Montana State Auditor in 1892 and served one term. While serving as
State Auditor he also established his own railroad construction business in partnership with
Martin Wolfson. They negotiated a contract with the Northern Pacific to build a spur to the
Parrot Smelter at Whitehall. Around 1905, Cook's Montana Concrete Construction Company got
contracts in Livingston, Dillon, and Bozeman to do sidewalk work. He built the dam and
irrigation canal system at Bynum Reservoir for the Teton Cooperative Reservoir Company.
As Cook, Deeks, and Hinds, and as the Toronto Construction Company he worked on the
Canadian Pacific Railroad. In 1912 under South Dakota law, he incorporated the Cook
Construction Company with Alexander McKenzie and L.L. Stephens. They opened an office in St.
Paul, Minnesota, and a branch office in Montreal, Canada. Among the contracts this company
obtained were the building of the Montreal Aqueduct, and the rebuilding of the Halifax, Nova
Scotia, terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, following a freighter explosion in 1917.
The Cook Construction Company dissolved in 1921.
A.B. Cook, however, was best known as a Hereford cattle rancher. In 1907 he bought the
Flying U Ranch at Bynum from F. Augustus Heinze and began to develop the prize-winning
Hereford cattle herd which became the passion of his later life. He bought the beginnings of
his herd from the John Wellcome Estate in Waterloo, Iowa. With the herd came George Sim who
oversaw Cook's breeding program for many years. Around 1912, Cook moved his cattle operation
to the Missouri River Valley north of Townsend. He bought three ranches there: the Dunleavy
and Rorvig ranches near the outlet of Confederate Creek, and the Bedford Ranch on the west
side of the river. He later added Sheep Ranch in Meagher County, the Newland Creek Ranch,
the Hevey Ranch, and several smaller pieces. During the 1910s he also was a partner with
Alexander McKenzie in the Stiles Cattle Company which had extensive holdings on the Standing
Rock Reservation in North and South Dakota. In October 1928, after losing a major lawsuit,
Cook was forced to sell his herd. He died a month later on November 24, 1928.
In April, 1908, A.B. Cook married Mary Morgan Pettingell, a native of Bowling Green,
Kentucky. While quite young Mary had married Frank Hervey Pettingell, with whom she had two
children: Frank Hervey and Mary Agnes. That marriage ended in divorce. A.B. Cook adopted
Mary's children, giving them his last name. The Cooks had one daughter Gloria, born in 1916.
Frank Hervey Cook was born in 1899 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He attended St. Paul's
School in Concord, New Hampshire, graduating in 1919. He assisted his adopted father on the
ranch, and on the death of A.B. Cook operated the ranch on a smaller scale. In 1931 he
married Lena (Sally) Gosnell Finley, heiress of the Gosnell oil fortune. She died of a heart
ailment August 5, 1933. With the flooding of much of the Cook ranch property by Canyon Ferry
Reservoir in 1953, Cook moved the Dunleavy house to the Bedford Ranch north of Townsend.
Frank Hervey Cook was murdered there, in an apparent robbery attempt, on November 22, 1970.
Content Description:

Processing Information:
The collection was in very difficult shape as received. Many boxes contained totally
unsorted material which included correspondence, invoices, stock records, and legal
documents, advertising brochures, and other material. Some records were severely water
damaged, including several boxes of legal documents which could not be salvaged. (These
should be available in the Broadwater and Missoula County courthouses.)
Records of all the various companies were split, with some letters filed under personal
names, some under corporate names. Incoming letters to companies were often interfiled with
letters from that company to Cook. During much of his later life, Cook divided his time
between the ranch in Townsend, and Cook Construction Company offices in St. Paul, Montreal,
and Halifax. He continued to conduct the business of all operations from all locations. Some
attempt has been made to pull together the correspondence belonging to the different
operations, but many letters are not where one would logically expect them to be. The
researcher is encouraged to look in the personal, ranch, and corporated subgroups for all
phases of Cook's life.
Arranged by subgroup and series. Some material housed in Manuscript Volumes and Archives Map
