ately dispatched to reinforce them.
On their arrival the Indians withdrew
behind their breastvorks, as they saw
they were outnumbered by the whites
William L. Sublette directed the battle
At fhst an effort was made to force
the Indians from their entertainments
by firing into the grove, but without
success. It was then decided to storm
their breastvorks. In order to do this
the white men, led by Sublette and
Campbell. worked their way through
the thick underbrush, until they came
into the open space before the In
dams entertainments. where they were
fully exposed to the fire of the enemy.
Sinclair was killed and Sublette badly
wounded.
Sublette had permitted no one to
take part in this attack but trappers
and Indians. Wyeth, while forbidding
his men to take part In the battle, had
gathered together some Of the allied
Indians, and made an attempt to reach
the rear Of the fort. In doing this,
one Of his men was killed by shot
from Sublette's party.
Attack Abandoned
The battle lasted most Of the day
with neither Of the combatants the
victor. Sublette then planned to set
fire to the breastworks and burn them.
A train Of wood was laid and ready
to light, when an unexpected occur
renee turned the tide Of battle and
led to the abandonment Of the attack.
A friendly Indian. who could speak
the Blackfeet tongue, had held con-
nrco wit ~ ~
him he learned that the Indians real
lied they were at the mercy of the
whites. but that later some 800 of
their warriors, who were then attack
ing those remaining at the rendezvous,
would soon give Sublette all the fight
ing he desired. The friendly Indian
told Sublette what he had heard, and
the latter at once fastened back to
the aid Of those at the rendezvous,
who would surely be in sore need of
his assistance, II the interpreters in
formation was correct. That night the
Indians left their fort, and there was
no trace of them to be found the fol-
lowing morning.
This ended the battle, but not its
consequences. Seven men Of Wyeth,s
party, with the addition Of Alfred K.
Stephens and four men, including a
Mr.. More Of Boston, Mr. Foy Of
Mississippi, and two grandsons Of
Daniel Boone, set out from Pierre's
Hole July Is for the east. They had
intended to join the party Of william
L. Sublette: but the wound OF the
latter detained him at the place of
rendezvous for about 10 days. The next
day after leaving, this party was at
tackled at Jackson's Hole by 20 Gros
Ventres. More and Foy were killed,

burgh and Drips, with their follower
and Captain Bonneville was bending
his course In that directidh.
In the valley were also hundreds
Of Indians, mainly Flatheads and Nes
Perces, and 1t was rlmored that q
large party Of Gros Ventres who had
been unusually troublesome that year
around the headvaters Of the SNAKE
and Green rivers. were returning from
visit to the Arapahoes. Their home
ward route would lead them through
or near Pierre's Hole. Sublette had q
skirmish with few Of them ON his
way to the rendezvous, and Fitzpat-
rick had been driven into the noun
tafns. where he nearly starved, being
five days without food.
Near the close Of the rendezvous
Milton @. Sublette In command Of a
party Of trappers set out for the Snake
river. accompanied by Wyeth. They
went about eight miles the first day
and then camped for the night. The
next morning they saw some mounted
men coming towards them. At first
they could not determine whether they
were whites or Indians, but soon dis
covered they were Gros Ventres. One
writer says they carried a British flag
they had stolen from Hudsons Bay
trappers. On seeing them, Sublette at
once sent to the rendezvous for re-
Inducements.
Meanwhile, the Indians realizing the
opposing force was larger than they
liked to engage, displayed a white
flag and by signs indicated a desire
to make peace. Sublette, knowing their
treacherous natures, wasted no time
in parley. But two men, Antoine Godin,
whose father had been killed by them,
and a Flathead chief, who wished to
be revenged for countless injuries done
his tribe went out to meet the Gros
Ventres' delegation. The two had
planned their course Of action.
No More Talk Of Peace
A chief met them, and offered to
shake hands. Godin took the proffered
hand and as he did so the Flathead
shot the Gros Ventre, who fell to the
ground dead. Godin and the Flathead
then hurried back to the other whites,
taking with them the robe Of the In
dian they had killed. There was no
longer any talk Of peace after this
act. and the Gros Ventres retreated to
the shelter Of a grove, where they
proceeded to entrench themselves, the
squaws doing the digging behind a
skirmish line Of warriors, who pro-
tected them from attack until the
work was completed. In addition to
rifle pits they constructed a breast
works of logs.
When it was learned at the rendez-
vous of the attack on the party which
had left there the preceding night, a
large number of men were immedi-

An account Of the battle Of Pierre's
Hsie belongs 70 the history Of Mon
tana, although waged without the
limits Of the slate, as the Indians
who fought there were the Gros VEN
tres Of the peairie, whose habitat was
from the Great falls Of the Missouri
to the Judith basin. These Indians
are often confused with the Blackfeet.
and the latter nation held responsible
for deeds they never committed.
The Gros ventres and the Arapahoes
were related, and originally may have
been one people. Some time during
their westward migration, they sep
arated. the Gros Ventres going north
west, and the Arapahoes southwest.
The recognition OF their kinship en-
dured. however, and every year or so
the Gros ventres visited these relatives
BY some writer's the Gros ventres
are called Falls Indians. from their
having been located at one time near
the falls of the Saskatchewan. If that
was once their home as claimed, they
must have been driven farther south
by the Assinniboine3 before the ar
rival Of the American fur traders. as
that region was then the Assinniboines'
range, extending to the Yellowstone
and the Gros Ventres had established
themselves at the falls of the Missouri

Like the Blackeet, the Gros Ventres
were Of Algonquin stock. and spoke
not only their own, but the Blackfeet

as Blackfeet.
