The Extreme History Project

The Extreme History Project The Extreme History Project is a public history organization that makes history relevant.

The Extreme History Project began as a means of making the humanities more fun, interesting and accessible to the general public and as a real means of generating social change. The Project hopes to encompass a variety of events and activities which will enhance the public’s understanding of how history has shaped our present and how understanding that legacy can affect the way we behave towards o

ne another. Extreme History believes in setting a Truth Agenda which will work toward eradicating political and social agendas from the traditional historical narratives and pursue a more balanced and honest expression of the past.

Bozeman, we need your help! Firefighter Ernest Robertson joined the Bozeman Fire Department (BFD) in 1914 and spent several years working on Hose Company #2. On December 15, 1922, Ernest died of smoke inhalation while battling a fire.

To honor his sacrifice as the only BFD firefighter to die while fighting a fire, we're researching to create an exhibit about Ernest. Ernest was born on April 24, 1892, to John Robertson of Canada and Lois Ferguson of Belgrade, Montana. He had two brothers, Leslie and Eugene Robertson. Ernest never married and lived his whole life in Bozeman, apart from two years served in the fire department at Camp Lewis during World War One. If you have a photograph of Ernest or more information on him, please email us at [email protected] or call at (406) 582-2369.

Thank you for helping us honor our history!
