Cattle Rancher. Kohrs was known as Montana's "Cattle King." At aged 15 he emigrated to the United States to mine gold. However, he decided it would be more profitable to provide beef to the miners. He purchased a Montana ranch from Johnny Grant. Eventually he owned more than 50,000 cattle and over 10 million acres of land. Kohrs also became involved in politics. He formed the Montana Stockgrowers Association. In addition, he was elected as a delegate to the state Constitution Convention and then a state senator in 1902. His ranch was sold by his grandson to the National Park Service. In 1972, Congress authorized the Grant-Kohrs Ranch as a National Historic Site.

Leaves Have Their Time to Fall
And Flowers to Wither at the North Wind's Breath
But Thou Alone of All
Thou Hast All Seasons for Thine Own, O Death.
