"The gathering of material or information for this book commenced with observations and inquiry gleaned during an enlisted term as a soldier along the Iowa and Minnesota border in the latter party of 1863; a trip up the Platte River Valley in the winter, and a journey to Fort Randall, and up the James or Dakota River in the spring of 1864; an overland journey across the Great Plains to Colorado and New Mexico during the summer of the same year, with a residence in and around the Rocky Mountain capital the winter that followed; a frontier residence in northwestern Iowa and the prairies of central Nebraska in 1866-1867; and a continuous residence in Dakota Territory from 1867 until after division and statehood in 1889.

The Plains Indian of the Upper Missouri in the nineteenth-century buffalo days remains the widely recognized symbol of primitive man par excellence–and the persistent image of the North American Indian at his most romantic. Fifteen cultural highlights, each a chapter made from research for a particular subject and enriched by contemporary illustrations, provide a sensitive interpretation of tribes such as the Blackfeet, the Crows, and the Mandans from the decades before Lewis and Clark up to the present. In an attempt to understand and record the old culture of the Indians, the author has developed, over the past 30 years, a special ethnohistorical approach. The results, as seen here, are enlightening both for other ethnohistorians and for historians of more or less conventional bent. This book is abundantly illustrated from historical sources.

This manuscript is entitled "A Report to the Hon. Isaac I. Stevens, Governor of Washington Territory, on the Indian Tribes of the Upper Missouri, by Edwin Thompson Denig." It has been edited and arranged with an introduction, notes, a biographical sketch of the author, and a brief bibliography of the tribes mentioned in the report. The report consists of 451 pages of foolscap size; closely written in a clear and fine script with 15 pages of excellent pen sketches and one small drawing, to which illustrations the editor has added two photographs of Edwin Thompson Denig and his Assiniboin wife, Hai-kees-kak-wee-lãh, Deer Little Woman, and a view of Old Fort Union taken from "The Manoe-Denigs," a family chronicle, New York, 1924. The manuscript is undated, but from internal evidence it seems safe to assign it to about the year 1854...

Although the American Fur Company dominated the Upper Missouri fur trade during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, a number of small, independent firms (known as the "Opposition") flourished briefly at this time. From 1858 until 1862, a young Philadelphian, Henry A. Boller, was one of the Opposition traders, serving first as clerk in Clark, Primeau and Company and then as a partner in Larpenteur, Smith and Company. His account of these years, based on his journals, presents a remarkably realistic picture of the daily life of the Indian as he existed more than a century ago and is recognized as the "most authoritative narrative of fur-trading among the plains Indians of the Upper Missouri, for the period" (U.S.iana). When it appeared in 1868, Boller's book was subtitled "Eight Years in the Far West, 1858-1866, Embracing Sketches of Montana and Salt Lake," and included descriptions of a return visit to Fort Berthold, the newly discovered Montana gold fields, and the Mormon capital. These concluding chapters are omitted in the present volume.

A thriving fur trade post between 1830 and 1860, Fort Clark, in what is today western North Dakota, also served as a way station for artists, scientists, missionaries, soldiers, and other western chroniclers traveling along the Upper Missouri River. The written and visual legacies of these visitors—among them the German prince-explorer Maximilian of Wied, Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, and American painter-author George Catlin—have long been the primary sources of information on the cultures of the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians, the peoples who met the first fur traders in the area. This book, by a team of anthropologists, is the first thorough account of the fur trade at Fort Clark to integrate new archaeological evidence with the historical record. The Mandans built a village in about 1822 near the site of what would become Fort Clark; after the 1837 smallpox epidemic that decimated them, the village was occupied by Arikaras until they abandoned it in 1862. Because it has never been plowed, the site of Fort Clark and the adjacent Mandan/Arikara village are rich in archaeological information. The authors describe the environmental and cultural setting of the fort (named after William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition), including the social profile of the fur traders who lived there. They also chronicle the histories of the Mandans and the Arikaras before and during the occupation of the post and the village. The authors conclude by assessing the results—published here for the first time—of the archaeological program that investigated the fort and adjacent Indian villages at Fort Clark State Historic Site. By vividly depicting the conflict and cooperation in and around the fort, this book reveals the various cultures’ interdependence.

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... A WAR WOMAN, WITH the increase of population and mining operations in Montana after the discovery rind opening of the gold mines in 1862, and the construc.ion of additional military posts along the Upper Missouri, came also the increase of the boating business between the city of Saint Louis. Missouri, and Fort Benton, Montana, the last named place being the head of navigation on the Missouri river. In the years I867-8 and 1869, the tonnage of freight transported up this river was enormous, over thirty steamers being constantly employed during the season of navigation in its transportation. While the wood aloiig the timbered bends for nearly a thousand miles of the steamer's course, could he had for the chopping and taking for steam heating and other necessary purposes, yet the di.Tuulty and loss of time by the boats crew in finding dry wood within the range of the tie-up, led the owners and captains of these steamers to induce a class of men to establish woodyards at convenient distances apart along the banks bordering the channel of the stream. Each camp or yard, for the most part acting independent of the other, the price of wood being regulated by its particular location, or the kind and quality of the wood in rank. The life led by these isolated wood choppers or owners of the woodyards, was, owing to the hundreds of miles of territory roamed over by bands of hostile Indians, likened unto a guard or sentinal continually at his post. His life or his property was ever insecure. Thus it was, that during the years above mentioned, nearly or quite onethird of these men so employed lost their lives, the wood destroyed and stock run off by Indians. A party of this class of men, together with some professional hunters, wolfers and trappers, ..
