Roadside inn site associated with Madame Guyot folklore.

The Frenchwoman’s Cabin is a historic cabin site in Montana. Roadside inn site associated with Madame Guyot folklore. Madame Guyot operated an inn on Dog Creek near present Elliston; she was murdered in 1868. Local lore holds that Southwest Montana recounts local folklore of Madame Guyot haunting the cabin.

The Frenchwoman's is the toll — the 'Guyot' that's the keeper's name, the 'three bucks' that's the floor's price. The 'table set' is the found — the 'two places' that's the meal's wait, the 'ransacked' that's the scene's state. The 'husband fled' is the pointed — the 'never caught' that's the killer's fate, the 'evidence' that's the suspicion's form.
The 'gold dust' is the motive — the 'six seven thousand' that's the hoard's guess, the 'France return' that's the dream's aim. The 'ghost stayed' is the told — the 'haunted' that's the cabin's claim, the 'MacDonald Pass' that's the road's new. The Frenchwoman's is the named — the 'woman's road' that's the honor's form, the 'murder' that's the name's cause.
The file keeps the cabin: the toll's price, the set table, the fled husband, and the stayed ghost.
The Frenchwoman's Cabin is the archive's Montana file — the toll house where the keeper never left.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Frenchwoman's Cabin is the archive's Montana file — the murder that named a pass.
A cabin keeps its table — the file's suggestion being that the Frenchwoman's hold is the set: the 'two places' that's the meal's wait, the 'gold dust' that's the motive's guess, and the 'ghost' that's the haunt's claim.
