Mandan News: Beach, Darlington
and Fort Yates have all recently
stepped into the limelight with claims
to real authors. but they have moth
ing on Mandan, for this city, too, has
it's author. e. II. S~teinbrueck, one Of
the oldest and most widely expert
enced pioneers Of the northwest, is
the man able to lay just, claim to the
honor OF being Mandan's first author.
The title Of Mr.. Steinbrueck's work
is My Red Brother" a name which
clearly indicates the trend Of the
book. 1t is a story of Indians and In
dian life, written at first hand, and.
in addition to the bountiful remarks
and observations of the author, it con-
tains in their original form a large
number of legends and traditions told
by the Indians Of this section, most
of which have never been in print.
There are also many discourses on
the early history or this territory, in
Guiding an account Of a trip down the
Missouri with Lewis and Clark in
1904.

perman naturally made a success of
his vocation. OF course, like 80 many
of the pioneers who blazed the trail
for on-coming civilization, Mr.. Vesper-
man met with many hardships that
would sorely try the endurance OF
one with a less determined disposition,
but obstacles never swerved him from
his purpose, and when failure of crops
or other m%isfortunes came he invari-
ably looked on the bright side. Like
the poet, Longfellow, so aptly worded
his poem, his motto was: BE still,
sad heart, and cease repining behind
the clouds in the sun still shining;
thy fate is the common fate of all,
into each life some rain must fail,
some days must be dark and dreary."
No better tribute could be paid to
the deceased than to say that he a
a kind husband and father and that
he was always optimistic. 1t is just
such kind-hearted and cheerful dis

years before that he lived in Canada,
where he and his hardy wife fought
wolves, Indians, billiards. and starva.
ton many a winter. During all these
years Mr.. Stejnbrueck, realizing the
richness of the historical field in
which he lived, gathered facts, fig

and nature at first hand and from
every view point. Later he conceived
the idea OF the book he has now COM

manuscript is now in the hands of a
New York publisher and the first edi-

manuscript, numerous original photos
