laid out the townsite of Bozeman in 1864. Some 160 acres of Rouse's original
land claim, including Rouse's First and Second Additions, are part of early
Bozeman. In the fall of 1864, Rouse put up 'a log cabin, the first dwelling
in Bozeman. Among his business ventures , Rouse owned a brick yard, and
supplied brick for many Bozeman structures.
