General Gibbon had hardly become
acquainted with his new surroundings be-
fore he undertook the Improvement of the
post. Water was brought to the fort
through a ditch seven miles long; trees
were planted, and a garden embracing
forty acres was cultivated to the manifest
advantage of all residing at the fort.
The First Garden
1t was almost Impossible, at that time,
to purchase fresh vegetables at any price.
The fort garden must have furnished a
welcome addition to the regular fare of
officer and private alike. The cultivation
OF this garden also demonstrated the fact
that no richer land can be found in Mon
tana than that of the Sun River valley.
General GibbOn, it will be remembered
was. in omman at the Battle of the Big
Hole, where he attacked Chief JOseph's fol-
lowing but was unable to prevent their
escape. In this battle three officers were
killed, one Of them being Lieutenant Brad
ley, to whose journal we are indebted for
the preservation of valuable information
regarding the history of the Northwest
Gen. GibbOn and three other officers were
wounded in this encounter. They returned
to Helena where the other officers were
entertained at Helena's principal hotel,
while General GibbOn, his wife and daugh-
tiers, remained for a time at Hot Springs.
Military Popularity
The citizens of Helena wed with one an
other in shOWering attentions on these
wounded men to such an extent that they
must have been glad again to reach Fort
Shaw where they could rest. General Glib
bon cherished no such illusions regarding
the superiority Of white soldiers as that
voiced in Golfers by that none too vera
ciOus historian, George Creel. General
Gibbon is quoted as having said Chief
Joseph Licked me like HE'LL He also
stated in effect that Joseph was one OF
the best soldiers and the most perfect
gentleman he ever met. General Howard
expressed the same opinion of Joseph, in
slightly different language, and of the rela-
tive merits of red and white warriors we
have the testimony of General Eli Higgins
in November American Mercury, where be

perhaps the remains Of a stamp mill,
or what was once a 1ume on the
mOuntainside. The story of these
towns is familiar to most of us, but
few have their attention called to
the ghost forts within our borders.
The Western Invasion
When we invaded the country of a peo-
pie with whom we were at peace, and
with whom we had a treaty giving to them
and to their descendants, in perpetuity,
all the vast region between the Missouri
ana the Rocky mountains, we were forced
to defend ourselves from those who would
naturally be our enemies.
Our first invaSion-the entering wedge
so to speak-waS the fur trade, which pro-
fessed to be of benefit to the Indians by
furnishing them-strictly for a price and a
heavy one at that-with some of the prod
ucts of civilization, such as firearms, cheap
blankets, beads and liquor. This advance
guard Of the OncOming white hOrdes did
not feel safe unless suitably entrenched be-
hind strong stOckades. These rude forts
are now but a memory. In many instances
not even their site can be accurately de-
ermined
The First Forts
The forts Of the American Fur company
were most numerous along the banks of the
Missouri, while those of the HudSOn's Bay
company were farther inland. Today, not
alone the sites, but the names of some of
the posts of the fur trade are unknown to
the majority Of our people.
When the trans-Missouri lands began to
be coveted by the whites our government
did its best to hold back the migration.
1t is said it was proposed to establish
a line of military ~strOngholds along the
whole frontier, but the idea was not put
into execution because it was impractical.

resurrected. The Stars and Stripes again
float above the parade ground, and the COM
panies go through their customary evOlu-
tons, or are entertained ~ by inspections.
The days duties ended, along the walk in
front of the quarters are seen the officers
uniform, and the latter in dinner costume,
on their way to the house where their
host and hostess await them. Or, If it is
"a Sunday, officers and soldiers betake
themselves to church, where the Rev. Mr..
Clarke, of Helena, holds services twice a
month.
If we also are church attendants, we
hall be surprised to hear the fine singing,
accompanied by an orchestra composed of
two Violins, clarinet, cello, oboe, and bas-
soon, and a choir of three sergeants, a cor
pOral, and the drum major, with a doctor
as organist, who had played in Washing
ton, ID. G..
Life, it may be inferred, was by no means
monOtonOus at Fort Shaw in those early
days, and it is not strange that Mrs. Roe
should write: at is nice to be once more
here at this dear old post, particularly
The winter East was enjoyable and re-
Ffreshing from first to last, but citizens and

was then merely a town, with its center 4
mile from our residence. There was some
kind of a celebration under way, and NV
brother stationed himself at a street cor
ner to witness the parade. He must have
been a very conspicuous figure in his neat
grey coat and white trousers, and undoubt-
edly attracted considerable attention.
The town band had recently purchased
new uniforms. They were to be in the
parade, as we're bands from ~neighboring
towns. The procession was fairly started.

New treaties were entered into with the
trusting wages, and the white wave swept
over the border. The government was alb
%solutely powerless to prevent it.
1t was then, with every advance Of the
whites, forts had to be established for
their protection and soldiers dispatched
to man them. The latter frequently went
reluctantly. Some of these had volunteered
for the Civil war to fight members of
their own race, and when that war was
ended objected to being sent into the will
derness to engage in warfare with the red
men. Once within the forts, their lives
depended on defending them and t rom
these ~stronghOlds they made fOrays into
the surrounding country to protect other
white invaders.
Camp Reynolds
On the thirtieth Of June, 1867, about
thirty miles west of the present city of
Great Fails, q fort was built to aid in the
control of this northern country and for
the protection of travel between Helena
and the head of navigation on the Mis-
souri,, at Fort Benton, as it was situated
nearly midway between these two points.
At first it was known as Camp Reynolds,
the name being changed in August of the
same year to Fort Shaw, in honor of Col
Robert q. Shaw of the 9TH Massachusetts
Volunteers, who was killed at Fort Wag-
ner four years previously.
No l~ovelier site could have been chosen
than that of the Sun or Medicine River
valley, as 1t was named by Lewis and
Clark. There was from it a fine mountain
view Of the Bird Tail divide to the south
of the HighwOOds to the east; while the
upper part of the valley was crossed by
the main chain of the Rockies. This val.
ley had been the f~avorite winter camp OF
the Piegans until the arrival Of the sol.
diers.

Before Court

Several marital tangles were
brought before Judge A. c. Finney
in superior court yesterday. One
interlocutory decree of divorce was
granted, this being IN the case of
Harold +. Brenner against Clarice
f. Bremen. The hearing was de-
fault, the defendant having inform
ed the court that the case could be
tried without further notice.
Two witnesses We're called, the
plaintiff being the first to take the
stand. He testified that his wife
was subject to an uncomfortable
temper and that she had abused him
numerous times. He charged that
she used vile language in denounc-
ing him both alone and before
friends.
The decree was granted upon cor.
roboration of the testimony by a
second witness. Alfred Blaisdell
appeared as attorney for the plain
tiff. The plaintiff was also given
custody of the two minor children.
In the case of Edward II. Leonard

was held on motion to set aside
default of the plaintiff on cross
complaint. The motion was ap-
