CHAPTER y

During the year 1875, General Sheri-
dan conceived the idea of opening up
to settlement the fertile lands in the
Yellowstone valley; which was then
occupied by wild rowing Bands of
savages.
He started out military expedition
on the upper Missouri river, with in
structions to explore the Yellowstone,
and as far as practicable, it's main
tributaries.
The steamboat Josephine, command
ed by Captain Grant Marsh, was
chartered by the government for this
expedition, and took on as military
escort, Companies E. G and H, of the
Sixth United States Infantry, from the
garrisons of old Forts Stevenson and
Buford-leaving the latter fort near
the mouth of the Yellowstone. on the
26th of May.
The forces of the expedition were
commanded by Colonies Forsyth and
Fred D. Grant of Sheridan's staff; the
former acting as superior officer.
At six o'clock, on the evening of the
Goth of May, the Josephine voyaged
up the Missouri past old Fort Union
and entered the mouth of the Yellow
stone; stemming the flowing tide, ON
the waters of one of the most wonder
full rivers in North America.
A delta of two islands partially
blocked the entrance, but a deep chan
mel was found. and the steamboat
steamed past the point of intersection
with the Missouri.
Here at the entrance of the valley.
a beautiful stretch of prairie, fourteen
miles long, TANKS the west side Of the
river; fringed along it's margin with
forest trees.
The east side at this point is low
heavily timbered fiat, three miles in
width and ranges UP the river in a
triangular from six or eight miles.
While beyond, the distant outlines OF
barren hills, tops the forest growth
lying between the Missouri and Vel
1owstone. The expedition voyage up
the river past old Fort Gilbert and
SuNy's crossing, to Chittenden island;
where they landed and obtained q
supply Of dry wood for fuel; on the
afternoon OF the second days voyage
