Having decided to become a per-
manent exile in America, Gallatin,
and his friend, Serre took boat for
the New World t Oseek a govern
ment in accordance with his abstract
notions of natural justice and pOliti-
cal right" or, in his own words, ito
drink in a love for independence in
the freest country of the universe"
Albert GaIlatin was then but nine
teen years of age. He. and his com
paniOn, Serre, spent half of their
money for passage to America, and
invested part of the remainder in tea,
which they hoped to sell at a profit
on their arrival there.
When they reached the New Eng
land coast, the weather was forbid
ding, and through fog and mist they
rode thirty miles to Boston. That city
was envelOped in the gloom induced
by the forlOrn condition of the army
following the discovery of .ArnOld's
treason. The youths were unable to
dispose of their tea, and added to
that, they did not like the town. Its
puritanism repealed them, and they
would gladly have gone on to Phila-
delphia, where they could have pre-

through its influence, Albert might
have led an entirely different life,
had he chosen to follow the career Op-
en- to him through family influence,
instead of making his own way in the
world.
After finishing his our at the
Academy, Gallatin found it necessary
to supplement his meagre fortune in
some manner, and, together with a
friend, decided to go to America, and
make himself a home in the wilder
ness which then extended from the
interior of Pennsylvania, westward.
His grandmother did not object to
his going to America, but she would
have had him go IN another capacity
than that of a fortune seeker. 1t will
be remembered that her titled friend
Frederick of Hesse-Cassel-being a
thrifty ruler, was then engaged in
farming out his loyal subjects to
George III, to be utilized as cannon
fodder, ''In America where the war
is'-Or then was. Young Gallatin
could have been a lieutenant-cOlOnel
in one of these regiments. On this Of

piled that she would never serve a

sented the numerous letters of intro
ductiOn and recommendation with
which they were supplied to officials
there; but found it impossible to
make the journey.
AS a slight relief from the Boston
environment, the two youths took
long walks into the country. On one
of these pedestrian tours, Gallatin
had an experience of Yankee inquisi-
~tiveness which he delighted to re-
late in after years, and that is re-
corded in Bartlett's "Reminiscences %
He had stopped at a tavern kept by
a man who manifested a great desire
to know more of the tall young man
with an unusually dark complexion,
who spoke with a strange accent
which, be it remarked, Gallatin al
ways retained: Just from France.

Their financial venture not haV-
ing proved successful in Boston, the
two young men, by the advice Of a
cOuntrywOman of theirs, took the
tea; some added merchandise; and
themselves to the far northeastern
coast of Maine, but found it no place
for beginning a business career,

of the American chronological SOci-
ETY.. This was a greater gain for
America, than could have been deriV-
ed had Gallatin accumulated vast
wealth.
When winter came, Gallatin and
Serre, found pleasure in skating and
snOW-shOeing. It was then they
visited Indian villages, and were
guests at their feasts.
At this time the English fleet was
marrying the coast, and on two or
three occasions Gallatin Joined the
volunteers to repel the invaders. He
also furnished supplies to the garri-
son at the fort, to the amount Of four
hundred dollars. He never received
a fourth Of this sum in return, as
the state treasury Of Massachu-
settles had not the requisite cash on
hand for its payment
While at Machias, Gallatin met La
PerOuse, and heard from him the
story Of his capture Of Fort Albany
on the HudsOn's Bay, and of his dis
cOvery there of the journal Of Sam
uel Hearne, who had vainly sought
a northwest passage via the Arctic
region.
Notwithstanding the allurements Of
winter and summer sports on the
Maine coast, its solitude and rigOr-
Gus climate did not appeal to Gala
tin as to Serre, and spring found
them again in Boston, where Gala
tin supplemented his scanty store of
money by teaching French, until his
foster mother, %sUspecting his lack of
funds, forwarded him not alone mon
ey, but letters of introduction to
prominent Boston men. Doubtless,
through the influence of the latter.
Gallatin was invited to teach French
at Harvard, which he did for about
a year, when, the Revolution ended,
he left Boston for New York, his
early experiences in America ended.

UOLAAGH VI Il ain OONAA4G NAOAAANAAL@s .
r Ohm F. YANCEY, who was us
uaIly called "Uncle John" by the
= sons and daughters of the old
timers, lived along the Yellowstone
river until about the time the Yellow
stone park was set aside as a nation
al playground.
He had a cabin on the trail leading
from Gardiner to Cooke City at a
point near the place now known as
Roosevelt Camp.
By reason of having many friends
in the Congress, among others Sena-
tor Vest, he was granted a permit or
lease where many prominent people
came for rest and sightseeing.
The Yellowstone river neal his no
tel was a famous fishing point for the
PenrOse family and others who liked
the great Out-Of-dOOrs.
For several years beginning with
1866, he hunted and enjoyed himself
with the Grow tribe of Indians and in
the evening of his latter days he told
many quaint stories of Incian habits.
Like many other old timers he did
not often say much about his past
life, but when the spirit moved him
in this direction, the conversation
was enjoyed by all who were FORUM
ate enough to be present.
It was his good fortune to have
met, very o after the Battle of the
Little Big Horn, an Indian who was
one of the numerous scouts en-
ployed by Custer and Reno, when so
many were wiped out on that mem
orable battlefield. This Crow In

and the latter agreed always with
the friendly Indian that Reno could
have done no better than to pursue
the course he did when he made a re.
treat and thus saved the greater par
lof his command from the fate which

Yancey, as is true Of most Of the
pioneers, left but little property
when he died and was buried at Gar
diner, but, among the relics Of tbs
past was a sawed-Off shotgun with

TT is OFTEN said, more by way OF
a statement than as a question,
whats in a name?" to which the
answer may be given, "a great deal,
if we will take the trouble to look Tor
it." An example of this is found N
the name of a river and of a county
within our borders-that Of Gala
tin.
The imp~ossibility of doing more,
in a brief sketch like this, than to dt-
rect the attention of readers to one
of the most remarkable characters
who has ever served u country In
an official capacity, goes without
saying.
In this day of alien batting, it is
we'll to remember that aliens took a
prominent part in establishing our
government. There was the French
man, Lafayette, the friend of Wash
ington; Baron Steuben, the German
who helped to make an army Of our
raw troops; Alexander Hamilton, the
Scotch West Indian, ablest finan-
cier; and last, but not least, the
Swiss, Albert Gallatin.
Gallatin was born in Geneva, II
1851, of a family claiming descent
from a Roman Consul, named Gala
tinus. Early left an orphan, he Wa
reared by a friend-MadamOiselle
Pictet, who always took a mOtherly
interest in her foster SON.. His educa.
ton was accomplished through the
aid of a fund some member OF his
extensive family connection had left
to be used by such of the Gallatins a;
needed it.
He pursued his studies at the Gen
eva Academy, where he had as fel
low students several Americans, am
Ong whom was a grandson Of Benja
min Franklin. These young men, in
Guiding Gallatin, devoted themselves
more to society than to their studies
pursuing the latter under private
teachers, and from this social con
tact, Gallatin testifies, he "deriveC
more benefit than from ATTENDANCE
on academical lectures"
Gallatin's grandmother, Susann'
Gallatin, lived in the vicinity o
Farney, where VOltaire was %sOjOurn
ing, and numbered him among he
friends. She also cOrrespOnded wit

the old timers and he had his likes
and disIikes for the old trail blazers,
who were only human as are the men
of today.
They were, all of them, full of the
lust of adventure and that love for
the wild places which made them
what they were (fOr many years.
Just shock troops who held the land
for those who were to come in after
years, to make of Montana a great
state where the auto may now travel
along the pleasant highways without
the fear that Indians or outlaws may
shoot out the lights.
A few Of the younger generation,
who are now gray-haired, loved to
hear Yancey tell of the fight that
Taswell Woody, Cox and Hubbard
had with a big detachment of Sioux
on Prior creek.
It seems that the three white men
saw the Indians in time to. get into
the timber and brush where they
were surrounded from noon until
dark with the battle continuing in
termittentIy until the Indians with
drew, carrying off their dead and
wounded.
: The writer was fortunate enough
to have the story told to- him in the
presence Of Woody.
The face of the old hero never
\ changed a muscle, nor did he show
any concern as he sat there at the
age Of 30 years and listened to his
friend, John Yancey, tell of the ex-
plOits Of that trying day.
When he was asked why the:three
hundred or more Indians did not
charge into where the white men
we're concealed, he calmly said: eft
