1t was Pierre Choteau who persuaded him

From his first connection with that

which latter could not afford TO trade for

he gained the consent of his associates
to the undertaking, and he set out Tor
the mouth of the Yellowstones, where
some of the ~Assiniboines had asked him
to build.
The first season he did not get above
the White river, a little below the Lower

anxious to penetrate. He knew it was
rich in beaver; but until there could
be a treaty made with the Piegans. the

south OF the Canadian line, he would be
unable to profit by this knowledge.
AT length the trapper, Berger, with a

1t was then thought best for Mckenzie
to take a short vacation. which he did.
About this time liquor sent to him was

Notwithstanding the influence they
