MONTANA PART OF
LOUISIANA DEAL
UNITED STATES PURCHASED EN-
TIRE TERRITORY FOR S15,OOO,-
900 FROM FRANCE

Americans of the early days of the
republic hardly dreamed of expan-
sion. They accepted the Spanish
power on the west and south as part
OF the natural order. Spain allowed
the pioneers Of the country between
the Allegheny mountains and the
Mississippi to send their products
through New Orleans to the sea.
And Spain, a decadent power, could
arouse no fears for our exposed bound
aries. Napoleon, the first consul Of
France, had determined to rebuild the
ancient French colonial empire and, in
1900 and 1901, obtained from the king
Of Spain, the retrocession of Louisiana.
The transfer was not made at once,
port of New Orleans was closed to AM
erican shipping.
The frontierSmen of the old west
were angered at this interference with
their trade and cried for war. The Dip
lomacy Of jefferson, however, was to
find a remedy by peaceful means. AS
a bluff to France, he declared that
from the moment France enters New
Orleans, I'VE must marry ourselves tc
the British fleet and nation" The
charge feared that the bitter state OF
feeling in America might lead that
country to join England in the fast
approaching struggle with France. JEFF
ferson sent Monroe to Paris to help
Livingstone purchase New Orleans and
Florida. Even before Monroe could
start on his journey, the excitement in
America led the French to allow trade
once more to pass through New Or
leans.
Meanwhile, Napoleon had decided tc
cede Louisiana to the United States
The reason for this sudden decision
is found in the approaching war with
Great Britain. The British navy could
easily break the French hold on Louis
lana. Napoleon needed the money that
the sale of this province would bring
and finally he thought the friendship
of the United States was worth some
thing.
Napoleon told his minister, Mar
bois, to demand $4,000, 900 for all OF
Louisiana but the latter raised the
price to $20, 900 900. Marbois and Liv-
i~ngstone engaged in long discussions
over the price. When Monroe arrived,
the discussions became more serious.
Finally, at a cost to the United States
of approximately SIS, 000, 900 the ces-
sion was agreed upon and on May 2,
1903, the treaty vas signed. In this
treaty no boundaries were defined, but
there was no doubt but it carried all
the Missouri country and French claim
to oregon.

one of the chief American officers dur
ing the Spanish-American war. A son,
also Guy V. Henry. who was born the
year before the battle of the Rosebud,
is now a major-general in the United
States army.
In the earlier part of the battle, some
of the cavalry had been thrown into
disorder and the Sioux and Cheyennes
rode among them clubbing and killing
a number. The infantry held their
ground more steadily although several
times obliged to retreat. The hostile
Indians finally retired into the sur-
rounding hills and the fighting gradu-
ally died down. The losses of the SOL
diers were officially reported as nine
killed and ID wounded. Some accounts,
however, give it as twice that number,
Several of their Indian scouts were
also killed, and a number wounded.
According to Cheyenne reports, the
Sioux lost about 20 warriors while only
one or two C%heyennes were killed.
In the battle, the soldiers had been
at a disadvantage as to position. Many
of them were in a wide gulch with
little protection except some willows
along the Rosebud. Their opponents
held the surrounding hills and broken
country where there were many knobs
with rocks and clumps of trees afford
ing protection. There was a long ridge
held by the hostile bands which the
soldiers attempted to dislodge them
from and at last partially succeeded.
Although Crook had finally driver
off the attacking bodies, he did not
dare to attempt a further advance
With limited rations, it was impossible
to remain long where he was and
retreat to the base at Goose creek was
ordered. The hostiles followed him fol
a short distance, but did not attack
again.
On the way back to Goose creek, the
Crows left to join their own camps
promising to return with more men
The Shoshones shortly afterward wenI
back to the Wind river country FOL
provisions and new mounts. The Siou'
and Cheyenne forces leisurely moved
over into the valley of the Little Biz
Horn where a week later they were Il
meet Custer, Benteen and Reno.
A message from Terry to Crook wa.
brought to the camp on Goose creek or
July 10, bringing the first news of the
Custer disaster. Two days later Crool
started a accommodating party of q
men and guides accompanied by Wa
Shake and his men who had returned
in an effort to locate the Sioux anc
Cheyemes. After the battle of The
Little Big Horn, the victorious tribes
men had gone to the east and en-
deavored to keep out of the way Of the
white troops. In this, most Of The
bands were successful until late in tht
fall.
According to Plenty Coos tale of tht
battle as recounted In 1.-The Amer.
can" he had two horses shot from un
der him in the battle. Once after
losing his horse, he sought refuge IL
a hole under a rimrock where he helC
off the Sioux with his rifle until 1t
had a chance to escape and finally re-
join his comrades. OF the Crows who
