Captain Lewis habitually wore his sun

strange and wondrous symbol. No such

to America in 117o, long before the

~ AA McClurg * Co., Chicago,
there is nothing of greater interest
than the insight into the habits of the
northwest Indians. For almost cen
fury the line of civilization and settle
ment has been advancing into and
through the gleat stretch of territory
first explored by Capts. Lewis and
Clark and their little army of brave
men. At almost every stage of this
new development have the white set
tiers met violent opposition from the
red men. Through the accounts of the
Indian wars that have followed we
have learned much of Indian savagery
and Indian nature, but none of these
have carried us back to the days when
the emissaries of the "GreAt Father"
at Washington penetrated the Indian
country for the first time, and carried
with them a message of peace and
good will to the warning tribes. In
THE Conquest" the author has given
to us not SO much a novel or romance,
but q narrative carefully compiled
from the fragmentary bits of history
that she has gathered by diligent
search, and from these, by permission
of the publishers, we make the follow
ing extracts that touch upon Indian
character and traits as found by the
little band of explorers.
1t was or May IA, 1904, that the boats
containing the expedition left the win

opposite the mouth of the Missouri
1t was in August that the representa-

in council at Council Bluffs, and of this
meeting Miss Dye gives us the follow
ing:
Ten days later preparations
were made to meet the Otoes at Council
Bluffs. On cottonwood pole the flag was
flying. A great feast was ready, when afar
