"Whits Tribes" Little
Better Than Sauaqes

James Stevens, in his "Brawny-
man." gives this description of the
white tribes" Of the old West: "The
bands of white men who adventured
to the Rocky mountains in the twen-
ties Of the last century had to live
like indians, and they soon became
tribe Of semi-savages, with various
bands under powerful chiefs; all
meeting each spring at rendezvous
just as an Indian tribe would unite
its bands for council. Even such
men as Jim Bridger easily forgot the
ways Of civilization and adopted the
customs, manners, and even the su-
perstitions Of the Indians. They mar
ried squaws, lived on meat-Jim
Bridger never tasted bread for II
years-and scalped their enemies.
When the great emigration began
over the Oregon trail the men of these
white tribes had little more feeling
OF welcome than the Indians for the
pioneers. Jim Bridger freighted sup
plies to his Wyoming fort and sold
them to the emigrants, but this was
not labor Of love. The wife of an
army officer tells In her diary of the
Old Man of the Mountains sitting in
the stolid silence of a Sioux for two
hours, while emigrants pestered him
with vain questions.
