In the fall OF "a, one cold and windy
day, a small party of %emigrants camp
ed on the west banks of the Missouri
river, heal the small town of Winona,
in the then Territory of Dakota. This
party consisted of my father and
mother, two of my brothers and my
self; five in all, My father owned a
small team of ponies, a Winchester
rifle and a small teat and some fish.

dollars a month pension he expected
to take a homestead In that wilder.
ness, for 1t wasn't much else then,
and as ! write this sketch of my trav.
els, from that time my mind goes
back. a d ] think OF the hard times
the early settlers had then, and |
wonder II you who read this will be-
lieve. We had no neighbors except
a few half-breeds, but they were al
ways friendly.
] very well remember a Frenchman
who charged toll for crossing the
bridge that spanned the small stream
that ran midway between his house
and our amp, ten cents being the fee
This man had an Indian wife, and
there were also several small breeds
running around the yard. Ny brother
helped this same man gather his corn,
while my father went at fishing, there
being plenty of fish of various kinds
In the river, These he peddled in
Minona, getting ten cents a pound for
them, always bringing home a supply
of provisions, enough to last us until
he caught another loar Of fish.
We lived that way until 1t got SO
cold we couldn't stand it any longer,
then we moved into an old cabin neal
there. There was just two rooms, but
they were quite large and were much
more comfortable than living in the
tent. There was always plenty of
wood to be had for the cutting. We
traded with the Indians and got most
Of our clothes that winter. When my
brothers got through with the corn
busking they went to trapping. They
would sometimes catch an otter or a
beaver, saving the hides, which were
worth a snug sum =. money then and
letting the Indians have rne rest.
We lived through that, our first
winter in Dakota. When spring came
my father wanter to 60 farther west,
where wild game was more plentiful,
and find a piece of land which he
could homestead. This my mother
was anxious to do. also. so we packed
our camp outfit (for we hadn't much
else) into a light wagon, tied old Lea r,
my fathers hunting dog, behind the
wagon and started. We reached Bis
marck in about three days. We stay
ed there a week, then crossed over
to Mandan On the steamer Rosebud,
since sunk In the Missouri river. From

through there, This made US a little
uneasy, for II we couldn't cross here
we would have to drive north again
to some pass, and u horses were
pretty tired. We had driven over so
many rough places and always came
out all right, we though we would try
II, anyway, The aext morning, after
breakfast was over, we packed every.
thing into the wagon solid, one of my
brothers being along with us on this
trip, was n big help. He had a team
of ponies and a light load, while our
load was quite heavy. The mountain
was one OF the main chain. We could
look mp nearly a mile and see the
snow on top, and the wild flowers
blooming a short distance below it.
This was on the third Of July, We
started and drove up a canyon in the
middle OF a rock! creek bed. winding
around and out and in. until we came
to an old trail the Indians had made

there we drove to Dickinson. We had
lots Of fun on the way as we'll as some
tough times, and some bad places to
60 through. From Dickinson we went
about thirty-five miles south and
camped OF what vas afterwards my
Oldest brothers claim, close to the
Big Heart river. We had plenty of

er. There was also plenty Of coal
there and an abundance OF wild game,
deer and antelope being the most
plentiful. MY Oldest brother was call
ed Antelope Pete. He killed more Of
them than any other kind of game.
My father and brothers built q cab
in while my mother and | roamed
over the hills. having nothing much
to do. We would take a field glass,
get en- top of some high knoll where
we could see for miles. This kept
us from being so lonesome. although

think 1t was hard on my mother, leav-
ing her old home in Iowa and coming
to a place like this.
The ranches then were ten aid ff-
teen miles apart. | know we only
saw two white women there in the
eight months we were there, and they
came in out Of curiosity to see our
fire and it would be curious now. for
we had no stove. the fire being built
in the middle Of the floor (which was

hole in the roof.
That summer we planted a small
garden that helped us some. We got
along very well and the next fall my
brother went to the E'adlands to hunt.
;, henever they got tired they would
bring a load Of game home and stay
a few days and take their wild meat
into DICKINSON and exchange it for
groceries. They would come back,
rest their ponies a couple of days and
start for their camp again. In this
way We lived owe the second winter.
