The three tribes of the Fort Bert
hold reservation, are included in the
nine tribes in the United States that
have never been at war with the
government. OF these three, the
Mandans are the smallest, number
ing a little over 200, small pOX having
almost destroyed them about 1858.
But they are the most Interesting.
There is a story to the effect that
they are descended from some Welsh
man, who sailed West from Wales in
the eleventh century, and were never
heard of afterWard. The story is
that the party reached the mouth of
the Mississippi, and worked their
way up that river. Many of their
words resemble the Welsh language,
and they are of much lighter com
pleXion than Indians usually are.
There are full blOOded Indians al
most white among them.
