that remarkable man, Antoine lie
Claire
To show his worth and greatness l
will rehearse that which ] wrote and
published. in my life's voyage.
On reaching the hunting grounds of
the Sacs and Foxes, and their Potto-
watomie allies, | here found the most
remarkable man west of the Father of
Waters; he was Il half-breed Potto-
watomie Indian, Antoine LeClaire; he
spoke French and English fuently.
and as well his own and several In
dian dialects. He had on many oc-
casions been United States interpre-
ter. He was taught in many branches
of learning by Il French missionary
priest. and later he entered an En-
glish school through the Influence of
Gov. Clark. of Missouri: he was the
white mans peer in all that makes a
man.
When the Sacs and Foxes parted
with their first Iowa lands and es-
tablished the treaty line of 1892, he
was Uncle Sans interpreter. In that
treaty one of the stipulations eXacted
by the Indian Chief Keokuk, who was
the duSlly Cromwell of his Gay. was
that Antoine lie Claire should have
tract of land one mile square at the
foot, and Il tract one mile square at
the head of the upper rapids of the
Mississippi river. On both of those
tracts Mr.. lie Claire laid off Il town.
which made him a wealthy man. He
was sober and possessed no vices. but
he was too liberal and kind; he went
security and endorsed for the white
man, to his great injury. The county
records witnessed and published his
tory records and preserved the evil
dence of his useful and active life.

mat. and Keokull. the renowned ora

But the most CALLING and unkindest
cut of all came when the subordinate
and plebeian Keokuk. whom he de-
spised. was placed by the arbitrary
white man over him. through Keo-
kuk's diplomacy, as the head of his
nation, to reduce him, more than
Hercules, to the lower ranks.
Keckuk (WatchfuI Fox) rose from
obscurity by force of talents: he was
an orator without n rival within the
Indian nations of his day. and. like
Iecumseh, it would have been difficult
TO find his superior in the white mans
ranks. He was the white mans CON
