they cried. Those boys are now grand
fathers in the Bitter Root.
The Indians seemed to want only
our horses and they drove off IL head
including team of four mules belong
ing to a man named Atchison. He had
his wife and four children and his
wagon, but nothing to pull it. He said
but we wouldn't desert him. We got
couple of wild COWS from our herd OF
stock and by yoking them up with the
regulars, drove his outfit along with
ours. Mrs. Atkinson was fratl and died
at Fort Bridger, Wyo., leaving her Tour
children mOtherless. The commander at
the fort conducted Masonic services over
her body.
This was the second death on the
trip, the first being little Jane Chaff1n,
who died two months before. A M. Atk-
MisSou1a county which at that time en-
braced Ravalli county. He became a
blacksmith at Stevensville, the first white
settlement, and his children were cared
for by the Winslett family there. Mrs
Atkinson was the bravest woman ever
saw. When the Indians threatened us
back there in Nebraska, she had her
children put in the wagon with her and
kept reassuring the other women.
Hardships of Trip
The real hardShipS of the trip were at
the Platte river. We had to take the
wagon boxes from the running gear and
putting four boxes together to form a
square and extra pianks that we car
ried were placed across the ends to
bring them up higher so the water would
not come in The wheels and such
5rappings were taken apart and loaded
The Kevin review., 1927-09-22

onto the boats and the lighter stuff
piled on top. We couldn't take very
heavy loads, so that many trips back
and forth were necessary in order to
ferry the outfit across. We were three
days getting across the river. We made
cars for our box boats from two-inch
planking carried with us. There were
trip across the three-q quarters of mile
Of water was a protracted one. The
men would walk along on the bars and
help to pull the boats along, when we
reached them. We swan the stock over
after the cargo was across When we hit
a deep current, we would catch the tail
of COW and hold on till we reached
the next bar.
After that we travelled on, striking
the North Platte at the mouth OF Ash
hollow, where Kearney fought the In
dians in 1856. The bones Of the horses
were still there.
"One of the worst things we had to
endure was the alkali dust. Our lips
and mouths would be swollen and burned
raw from it, till our only relief would be
to put raw flour on at night to exclude
the air. The lack Of fresh vegetables was
another hardship. At Soda springs on
Bear river. IN Idaho, we got our first
carrots and they were surely good.
Child Born at Bannack

child born on trip, arrived. She was

ranch. On the site they built rude
cabin covered with lodgepole and
thatched with grass and dirt. They
hewed logs into puncheons to make
floors and doors. Windows were none,
as glass could not be procured, but a
rock chimney was built and the logs
"chinked" with mud Furniture, made
from the puncheon timber, also added
somewhat to the small store of house
hold comforts brought with them from
back home" Seven persons wintered in
this cabin. They subsisted on beef
and potatoes which they secured through
bartering with the Indians.
Mr. Mitchell has lived in the valley
continuously except for the year follow
ing his arrival when the party left the
valley going to Oregon. They returned
in 1866 and with their sturdy help the
Bitter Root valley came to be what it
is today, a place of comfortable homes
and the abiding spot of progressive
people,

and children.
"The scene two days later, beggard
description The Indians had turned
over the wagons, broke open the -four
sacks and feather beds, taking the ticks
of the latter for their tepees. Mrs. Lara
nlte, one Of The party, was a photographer
and had camera with her This we
found smashed to bits. Laramie and q
man named Wakefield were badly wound
ed by arrows. They had been found by
soldiers and taken to the military hos
pital on Deer creek, where I saw Laramie
afterwards A doctor was then probing
an arrow wound. Turning to us, he said:
Boys, it went plumb through him he
will never get well. He died two days
Child Shot by Indians
"A train just ahead Of our party had
buried the dead of the massacre and it
developed that the Indians had put Mrs
Kelley and her 13-year-old daughter on
one horse. When the mother saw a
chance for her child to escape, she slipped
her from the horse and told he'd to
make her way back to the emigrant road.
But the child was shot by a struggling
Indian and her body picked up the next
day by the soldiers.
Mrs. Kelley was kept two years by
the Indians and ran6Omed by an officer
at Fort Smelling. Mrs. Laramie and her
boy escaped at night, and after two
nights and day Of hiding and tramp
ing, made their way back to the party at
Deer creek, They would have perished
for water had she not squeezed moisture
from mud by putting it in the boys
little shirt, which she had taken off and,
conserving the few drops Of moisture,
kept his lips wet.
In 1880 my wife was In the town Of
lola and had her photograph taken in
Mrs. Laramies gallery. The son had
just graduated and had made splendid
man.
Shoot at Redskins
Just at daybreak, we were two miles
from the scene Of the massacre and
went into camp. Before night there
were 40 wagons in the circle. While |
breakfast was cooking, seven men anG
two boys went out to bring in the stock |

trail. We had just got down to our
horses and oxen when from the direction !
Of Chapparel creek we saw about 20
Indians, unclothed except for I
breechcloths and, painted brilliant red,
armed with bows, arrows and spears. One
of the men said Shoot, boysP But an /
0ther, more cautious, said, NO, don't I
shoot, they may be friendly Indians.
:" Friendly, he11l' said another, go to I
sfootin'' We had only our revOlvers, but
the Indians scattered when we started
shooting.

boys grabbed me by the legs. Don't
1ang to me, go to your father" told
hem. No, mol Daddy hasn't gun.
