Stein, Ben H.
Ben Stein research collection
1908-2003
10 linear feet of shelf space
Ben Stein (1915-2001) was a legislator and historian.
Records include correspondence (1924-1999), writings (1930s-1960s), miscellany, and
clippings created and gathered by Andrew Garcia (ca 1855-1943), and purchased by Stein
through the Rock Foundation for purposes of research and publication. Also present in the
collection are writings and research notes by David Stein and based on the Garcia papers.
This research and writing culminated in the publication of "Tough Trip Through Paradise,
1878-1879" in 1967.

Biographical Note
Bennett Harris Stein was born in Ravinia, Illinois, and attended Dartmouth College, where
he earned a BA in English literature. After moving to Montana, he married Hildegard Balke in
1939. They were divorced in 1966, and Stein married again in 1967, this time to Glenna
Hamilton, with whom he remained until her death in 1978. Between 1957 and 1971, Ben Stein
served a total of fourteen years in the Montana State Senate as representative for Park
County, first as a Democrat, and later as a Republican. In 1960, Ben Stein, John D.
Stephenson, and Hugh D. Galusha became incorporators and directors of The Rock Foundation, a
non-profit organization with the purpose of acquiring historical documents for study and
publication. Stein passed away in 2001 in Livingston, Montana, at the age of 86. He left
behind five children(Karen, Linda, David, Leslie, and Peter Stein).
Andrew Garcia was born around 1855 in El Paso, Texas. As a young man, he became a civilian
mule handler for the U.S. Army and traveled to Montana in that capacity in 1876. In 1878,
Garcia left the army to become a trapper and trader in the Montana wilderness, and thus
began a period of about nine years in which he lived among Native Americans, primarily the
Pen d’Oreille tribe. Also in 1878, Garcia met a Nez Perce woman called In-who-lise (the name
means Broken Tooth in the Pen d'Oreille language; she was originally known as
Kot-kot-hy-hih, meaning White Feather, and was christened Susan), who was living among the
Pen d’Oreilles after having been badly injured and separated from her people during the Nez
Perce War of 1877. After a brief courtship, she and Garcia were married and the two of them
began a journey together to the Lapwai reservation in Idaho to reunite with her remaining
family, but In-who-lise was killed during a Blackfoot raid during the journey. After her
death, Garcia continued living among the Pen d’Oreille until 1887, during which time he
married two women from that tribe. The first, Squis-Squis, died in 1882 when she was thrown
from her horse. He married the second, Mal-lit-tay-lay, in 1883, and she died in 1889 after
moving with him to a homestead near Alberton Gorge. Garcia married for a fourth time in
1899, to Barbara Voll. The two remained together until Barbara’s death in 1936, and together
had four sons named Jack, Trinidad, Andrew, and William.
The collection consists of four subgroups: Andrew Garcia, Ben Stein, David Stein, and
Barbara Stein.
The Andrew Garcia subgroup consists of general correspondence (1926-1942); financial
records (1908-1941) consisting of bank records, receipts, and tax statements; writings
(ca 1930’s) consisting of autobiographical manuscripts as well as biographical materials
written for fellow Montana pioneers; miscellany including historical accounts written by
Baptiste Pakatas and transcriptions of interviews given by Garcia; and clippings (ca 1930’s)
consisting of articles on historical topics, on Society of Montana Pioneers meetings and
events, and on Andrew Garcia.
The Ben Stein subgroup consists of general correspondence (1942-1999); financial records
(1964, 1969, 1995) consisting of agreements concerning royalties for the book Tough Trip
through Paradise and Rock Foundation records; subject files on Andrew Garcia and Montana
history; writings (ca 1960-ca 1966) consisting of edited copies of Garcia’s manuscripts as
well as complete drafts by Ben Stein; miscellany; and clippings (ca 1967) consisting mainly
of reviews for Tough Trip through Paradise.
The David Stein subgroup consists of writings (2003) based on the Garcia papers; and
research notes (ca2002) on Joe Ford.
The Barbara Garcia subgroup consists of correspondence (1924) and two prayer books, once of
which is in German.
Arranged by subgroup and series. Some material housed in oversized box. See Location of Collection
information above and the inventory below for more information.
Collection is open for research.

Acquisition information available upon request
Handwriting samples from each of the three creators have been photocopied and labeled as a
tool for researchers, and duplicates of this tool are available in the front of boxes 1, 12,
and 18. Numbering and alphabetical labels for manuscripts, drafts, and duplicates in this
guide and on folder labels (e.g. "Manuscript A copy 1") should not be assumed to be
authoritative descriptions of the order in which those items were created or used. Educated
guesses have been made as to the order in which some drafts were written; in other cases the
labeling of the materials is entirely arbitrary.
As the final creator of the collection, David Stein imposed a new system of organization on
many of the materials. David Stein identified materials by assigning each folder a
three-digit number with a decimal following the first digit (e.g. 2.01, 4.07, etc). No index
has been found that would reveal the overall organizational scheme. The colorful sheets of
paper David Stein used for folders have been kept with the materials with which they were
found, with the result that they can be found throughout the entire collection rather than
only in the David Stein subgroup. David Stein’s numbering for affected folders is noted in
this guide and on folders with the format “(D. Stein: [number]).”
Ben Stein also imposed organizational systems on many of his research materials, and three
indices to his two numbering systems are available in Subgroup 2, Series 5 (Ben Stein:
Miscellany). Ben Stein’s research folders are labeled with a letter and box number (e.g.
Folder X BB2) from his original organization of the collection (which was not maintained by
subsequent users before the collection came to the Montana Historical Society) and many of
the clippings found in the Andrew Garcia subgroup are labeled like so: “I125.0.”

Archives catalog. Researchers desiring materials about related topics, persons, or places
