Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 book was released on 1972-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 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, ..
