some years he developed an ambition
TO form a comprehensive museum and

North America in their natural state.
before contaminated by the vices of
civilization and robbed Of their natural
picturesqueness.
Catlin was about 5 feet inches in
height, thin In figure, long face, dark
complexion, with blue eyes and black
hair. He wore no beard. Capt. Mayne
Reid. the noted writer, said Catlin
was one Of the most graceful men he
had ever seen.
Was Always Poor
Catlin knew nothing of making
money and was always poor. He was
frequently IN Chicago from 1882 to
1886, at a time when investment of a
few hundred dollars in real estate
would have made him wealthy. He did
f~ots A4OWCfC4f liz WttS Al SEdIE0
OF Indian subjects for sketching. He
sketched and re-sketched Chicago, and
was in daily association with men who
were there for investment and who
eventually became enormously rich
from land purchases made at the
time.
Catlin was a dead shot with a rifle
and seemed born to the saddle. He
was a most entertaining story-teller
and a most likeable man. Among his
close personal friends were Henry CLAW.
Daniel Webster, William II. Seward
and other prominent men. Among his
IaSt friends in the west was James
k1pp, father of Joe Kipp, who died at
browning a few years ago. and the
greater part of whose life was spent
With the Blackfeet Indians. James
Alpp was headman for the American
Fur Co., in the thirties.
At Fort Union
In 1882 Catlin was a passenger on
.he steamer Yellowstone from St
Louis to Fort Union, at the mouth of
ne Yellowstone river. The Yellowstone

civilization fascinated him.

Americans their first real picture of

was a man of the highest attachments

with which Europeans, untitled as well
as titled, were wont to speak of the
Americans at that time.
There are two distinct points of
view" he wrote, in his Travels In
North America, "in which that re-
markable country may be considered.
Some travellers are interested by the
rude, primitive character of the nat

aboriginal population; while the ma
jority are more inclined to contem-

The life of the people who in
habtted Montana a hundred years
ago, the Indians in their natural
state, the fur trappers and traders,
the river men who worked on the
Macktnaw and early steam craft,
the half-breed hunters and yOy-
ageurS-all the motley gathering of
human life on the western frontier
of that day-presents a fascinating
picture to the present generation
of MOntanans. Much of the detail
of the life of that long gone day
would have been lost to us forever,
had it not been for the efforts of
a handful Of writers and painters
to whom the picturesqueness of the
life appealed and who realized that
the oncOming of civilization would
erase all trace and memory of it
as marks In the sand are Wiped
out by the wind.
Montana owes much In a historical
way to one man, George Catlin. who
spent eight years among the Indian
tribes of North America and left a
wonderfully graphic and accurate ac-
count Of what he saw in his wander
ings, besides a splendid collection of
drawings and paintings that form an
imperiShable record of a day that has
gone. Catlin came to Montana in 1882
and spent the summer at Fort Yellow
stone and elsewhere on the upper Mis-
souri,. observing the customs and habits
of the Indians and the white popula-
ton that made business of trading
with the red men, and sketching every
thing he saw that was Of interest.
Every school child in Montana
should be told about Catlin, and it
would be fine thing for this state if
an abridged volume In narrative form
could be published, telling the fas-
cinating story that Catlin has left of
what he saw in Montana nearly a CEN
tury ago.
One of IA Children
George Catlin was born in Wilkes
barre, Pa, July 26, 1896 He died at
Jersey City, N. j., Dec. %, 1872. He
was the fifth of a family of IA chill
iren. His father, Putnam Catlin, was
4 lawyer His mother, Polly Sutton, was
the daughter of a settler who was en-
gagged in the battles with the Indians
