Tho Peck Reservation.
Omaha, Nebr., Sept. 10 To the
Editor of the World4Herald: AS the
big Fort Peck Indian reservation in
Montana is about to be thrown open
to settlement it may interest some of
your readers in the northwest to know
who Mr.. Peck was. The fort was
named after him and the reservation
after the fort.
Campbell K. Peck was native of
Troy, N. Y, He came west early and
in the sos was engaged in the hard
ware business at Keokuk on the Mis-
sissippi, under the firm name of
Cady, Jones & Peck. When President
Lincoln called for $4,000 volunteers
Colonel Peck, raised a regiment in
Iowa and served with it as colonel un-
til mustered out. After leaving the
service, in company with his brother
in-law Commodore B. H. Durfee OF
I.eavenworth, he became Interested in
steamboats, to the number OF six that
piled the Missouri and its tributaries
to. the headwaters of the Missouri and
Yellowstone. Transporting buffalo
robes in the summer and cotton on iths
lower tributaries of the Mississippi in
the winter, furnished the big business
for these boats.
THE firm of Durfee & Peck had the
contract with the government to car.
ry freight to the military posts and
Indian agencies of the North Missouri
country. General Belknap, secretary
of war under Grant and Colonel Peck
were great friends and from the same
Iowa town. 1t is said that the firm
was the greatest buffalo robe traders
in the country, exceeding even the re-
nowned Aston Fur company and that
of the French of old st. Louis under
the name Of the American Fur com
pany.
"The Nellie Peck was famous boat
familiar to all on the waters Of the
upper Missouri at one time Many or
the old timers now living in the north
west helped load that boat.
Colonel Peck died in 1881 and Is
buried beside is wife in the cemetery
high above the Mississippi at Keokuk.
His son, Cady K Peck of Chicago, is
dead. His daughter, Nellie, after
whom one of the boats was named,
was great beauty and belle when
a girl. She had many friends in
Omaha. Her husband was Colonel
Smith of the United States army.
Their home was Buffalo, N. Y. Colonel
Smith Is dead.
when Colonel n. C. Akin, cashier
Of the postoffice here, was asked II the
firm OF Durfee & Peck became rich, he
said they were too big-hearted to save
any money and maybe that is why
the colonel himself lost fortune, for
he succeeded the firm and carried on
the business and lost. Colonel Akin
was with tho fir mfrom 1867 to 1881"
