ORIGIN OF CROW INDIANS

About 1916 years ago a great Indian
tribe. living on the banks of the
Missouri river was hard pressed
for food. All game seemed to have
left the country, and although the
men hunted tirelessly, little was
bra ught to the camp. One day, as
told by the old men of the tribe, a
buffalo was taken, but among so
many it was but a morSel, and little
vision. The dispute was between two
rival chiefs, and, as each had about
the same number Of followers. &
feud rapidly developed, which fin
ally resulted in division of the
tribe. One band which long after
ward became known as the Crows
set their faces westward and journ-
eyed to the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains, pitching their camps
along the waters of the Yellow
stone, Big Horn, Powder, and as far
south as Wind River Those roam
ing over the Wind River region fra
ternized for a time with the inhabi-
tants of that country, the Shoshonis
but the latter, always regarding the
Crows as intruders, finally determin-
ed to drive them out, which they did,
and after the bloody battle of Grow
Heart Mountain. the tribe concen-
trated along the Yellowstone and
Big Horn rivers, where they are to-
day living in peace and comfort.
Later on, the Crews made many raids
into the Shoshoni country, capturing
many horses and taking with them
many of the women and children
of the Shoshonis, descendants of
whom are now members of the Crow
tribe. Prisoners, always women and
children, were taken from other
tribes. the Nez Perces, Cheyennes.
Blackfeet, etc, and so it is that the
Grows are now composite race,
with very few of pure Crow blood
