Wouldn't it be grand to solve a mystery that took place almost 90 years ago. In August of 1924, two brothers from Chicago disappeared during a hike in Glacier National Park. The brothers set off from Granite Park but never arrived at their destination, the Lewis Hotel on Lake McDonald. An extensive search was conducted, the FBI was called in, yet no evidence ever surfaced to close the case. It remains to this day unsolved.
I first read about the Whitehead brothers, Joseph and William in the book, Roadside History of Montana, written by Don Spritzer and published Mountain Press. You can read more about the Whitehead mystery on page 110. If you haven’t read this book, I recommend it highly. It is full of Montana history, organized to follow highways and roads where the events took place.
I seriously doubt that anyone would be able to piece together what happened to the Whitehead brothers so long after the fact, but wouldn't it be something if someone came upon some missing bit of information that finally solved the mystery of their disappearance.
