Those Early Days +
in the Northwest

Historians are ever on the lookout
for "reminiscences of the beginnings of
a country and the stories Of first set,
tiers are among the most treasured
records of any country or state. The
following "reminiscences OF II. S. Back,
concerning the early times in the thon
Territory of Dakota, will be espec-
tally interesting to the old settlers of
Codinston county, They were written
at Occur D'Alene, Idaho, early in 1893
at the request Of Prof. r. F. Kerr and
form a part of the data of the state
historical society. Through Prof. Ke.r
we are able to present Mr.. Backs
story.
The editor of the Saturday News is
personally acquainted with H, S. Back,
the author of the following article.
Mr. Back and the writer's father, e.
ID. Barker We're old pioneers who came
to the Territory of Dakota at about
the same time. Both were soldiers
and fought Indians under Gen. Sibley.
E, D. Barker came to the territory of
Dakota in the fall of 1856 and settled
at Vermillion where he established a
newspaper called the Vermillion Re-
publican, which is still being published
and is one of the best papers in the
state. The editor of the Saturday
News is probably one of the earliest
pioneers residing in the state today as
flie was born on the 30th day of Sep
tembef 1866 at Owatonna, Minnesota.
and came overland with his parents
with an OK team and covered wagon
and arrived at Vermillion when he
was five months old In the year OF
1870 the writer removed with his par.
ents to where Fargo, North Dakota,
| is now located and the writer's father,
accompanied By HI S, Back .,squatted-
on government land adjoining the city
of Fargo. This was before the gov.
iernment survey was made. They lived
on this land until It was surveyed by
the government and later sold it fol
about $500 per acre The same land
could not be purchased at this time
for less than $3.50 per acre. e. ii

country was known on the maps IN

time as the Great American Desert

to make fun of Mr.. Barker for saying
that wheat could be raised in that
desert and called him a crazy man
