ed lo llm north as far as the .Salm
on river and beyond, lo the head of
one of it triliutariee, where the
present city of Florence is located.
While camped in IhU region, three
of fhe men went out one day to
look for their horses, which had
strayed uway, or been stolen by the
Indians. During Ihcjr absence,
Meek, who remained in camp, had
killed a fine fat deer, and was cook
ing a portion of it, when he saw s
band of about a hundred Indiani
approaching, and so near wero they
that (light was almost certainly
useless; yet as a hundred sgainst
one ws very great odds, and run
ning owsy from them would nol
increase their number, while it
gave him something to do in his
own delcncp, he took to his heels
and ran as only a mountain-man
can run. Instead, however, of pur
suing him, tho practical-minded
braves set about finishing his cook
ing for him, and coon had the
held out the bait to the American
Company, who, unsuspicious of
ihtir person, toolt it readily enough.
They led them aloug acroes the
mountains, and on lo the head
waAers of the Missouri. Here pack
ing up Iheir traps, they tarried not
for beaver, nor even tried to avoid
the Iilackfeet, but pushed right
ahead, into the very heart of their
country, keeping away from any
part of it where beaver might bs
found, and going away on beyond,
to the elevated plains, quite desti
tute of iliat small but desirable
game, but followed through it by
their rivals.
However justifiable on the part
trade this movement of the
Rocky Mountain Company might
have been, it was a cruel device as
concerned the inexperienced lead
ears of the other company, one of
whom lost his life in consequence.
S'ot knowing of their danger, they
only discovered their situation in
whole deer roasting before the lire, i the midst of Iilackfeet, after d ie-
This procedure provoked the gas-1 covering the ruse that had been
tronomic irn of our trapper, and played upon them. They then
afier watching them for some time, halted, and being deternaii.ed to
from his hidig-place, he delermin-, find beaver, divided Iheir forces
ed to return and share the feast. , and set out in opposite direclrons
for tlut
On reaching camp again, and in
troducing himself to his not over
scrupulous visitors, he found they

Major Vanderburg look tho worst
possible direction for a email party
were from the Nez Perces tribe in- j to take, and had not traveled far
habiting that region, who, having I when his scouts came upon the
been so rude as to devour bis stock i still smoking camp fires of a band
of provisions, invited him to ac- of Indians who were returning
company them to their village, not j from a buffalo hunt. From the
a great way off, where they would j "signs" left behind them, the scout
make some return for his invo'un- 'judged that they had become
tary hospitality. This he did, and i aware of tho near neighborhood of
there found his three comrades and! white men, and from their having
all their horses. While still visit
ing at the Nez Perces village, they
were joined by the remaining por
tion of Sublette's command, when
stolen off, he judged that they
we.e only gone for others of their
nation, c lo prepare for war.
But Vanderburg, with the fool-
the whole company started south hardiness of one not "up to Black
again. Passing Payette's lake to
the east, traversing the Hoise Basin,
going to tho head-waters of that
river, thence to the Malado, thence
to Ciodiu's river, and finally lo the
forks of the Salmon, where they
found the main camp. Captain
Honneville, of whose three years
wanderings in the wilderness Mr.
Irving has given a full and inter-
feet," determined to ascertain for
himself what there was to fear;
and taking with hi in half a score
of his followers, put himself upon
their trail, galloping hard after
them, until in his rashness, he
found himself being bd through a
dark and deep defile, rendered
darker and gloomier by overhang
ing trees. In the midst of this
tho remains were never recovered,
piobaldy having first been fiend
ishly mutilated, and then left to
the wolves.
Fitzpatrick and Bridger, find-
ling they were no longer pursued by
their rivals, as the season advanced
beg:in to retrace their steps toward
the good trapping grounds. Being
used to Indian wiles and Iilackfeet
maraudings and ambushes, they I
traveled in close columns, and
never camped or turned out their
hones to feed, without the greatest
Ciution. Morning and evening
a :ouls were sent out to beat up
every thicket or ravine that seem
eJ to offer concealment to a foe,
and tho horizon was searched in
every direction for signs of an In
dian attack. The complete safety
of (he camp being settled almost
beyond a pread venture, the horses
were turned loose, though never
left unguarded.
It was not likely, however, that
the camp should pass through the
Black foot country without any en
counters wi'.h that nation. When
it had reached the head-waters of
the Missouri, on the return march,
a party of trappers, including
Meek, discovered a small band of
Indians in a bend of the lake, and
thinking the opportunity for sport
a good one, commenced firing on
them. Xhc Indians, who were
without guns, took to the lake for
refuge, while the trappers entertain
ed themselves with the rare amuse
ment of keeping them in the water,
by shooting at them occasionally.
But it chanced that these were on
ly a few stragglers from the main
Blackfoot camp, which soon came
up and put an end to the sport by
putting the trappers to flight in
their turn. Tho trappers fled to
camp, the Indians pursuing, until
the latter discovered that ther had
been led almost into the large
camp of the whites This oc
casioned a halt, the Iilackfeet cot
caring no engage with superior
numbers.
In tho pause which ensued, one
of the chiefs came out into the
open space, bearing the peace-pipe,
and Bridger also advanced to meet

was confusion. The noise of
whoops, yells, of fire arms, and of
running hither and thither, gather
ed like a tempest. At the first
burst of this demoniac blast, tha
horse of the interpreter became
frightened, and, by a sudden move
ment, unhorsed her, wheeling and
running back to camp. In tho
melee which now ensued, the wom
an was carried off by the Blackfeet,
and Bridger was wounded twice in
the back with arrows. A cbance
medley fight now ensued, continu
ing until night put a perO to tha
contest. So well matched were the
opposing forces, that each fought
with caution firing from the corer
of thickets and from behind rocks,
neither side doing much execution.
The loss on the part of the Black
feet was nine warriorsyend on that
of the whites, tbreef mehand aix
horses. '
As for the young Blackfoot wom
an, whose people retained her a
prisoner, her lamentations and
struggles to escape and return to
her husband and child so wrought
upon the young Mexican, who was
the pained witness of her grief,
that be took' the babe in his arms,
and galloped with it into the heart
of the Blackfoot camp, to place it
in the arms of the distracted
mother. This daring act, which
all who witnessed believed would
esting account, was encamped in dismal place, just where an am
the same neighborhood, and had bush might have been expected, he
built there a small fort or trading- was attacked by a horde ofsav
house. and finally wintered in the1 ages, who rushed upon his little
neighborhood.
An exchange of men now took
place, and Meek went east of tho
mountains under Fitzpatrick and
Bridger. When these famous lead
ers had first set out for the sum
mer hunt, after tho battle ef
Pierre's Hole, their course had been
to tho head-waters of the Missouri,
to the Yellowstone lake, and the
forks of the Missouri, some of tbe
bet-t beaver grounds known to them.
But finding their step3 dogged by
tho American Fur Company, und
not w ishing to bo mndo use of as
pilots by their rivals, they had flit
ted about for a timo like an Arab
camp, in the endeavor to blind
them, and finally returned to the
west side of the mountains, where
Meek fell in with them.
Exasperated by the perseverence
of the America Company, they
had come to tho determination of
the pommel of his saddle. He was
accompanied by a Blackfjot wom
an, wife of a Mexican in his serv
ice, as interpreter. The chief ex
tended his hand in token of amity;
but at that moment Bridger saw a
movement of the chiefs, which be
took to mean treachery, and cock
ed his ri lie. But the lock had no
soonpr clicked than the chief, a
large and powerful man, seized tbe
gun and turned tho muzzle down
ward, when the contents were dis
charged into the earth. With an
other dexterous movement he
wrested it from Bridger'a hand,
and struck him with it, felling him
to the ground In an instant all
party with whoops and frantic ges
tures, intended not only to sppsl
the riders, but to frighten their
horses, and thus make surer their
bloody butchery. It was but the
work of a few minutes to consum
mate their demoniac purpose.
Vhnderburg's horse was shot dawn
at once, falling on his rider, whom
the Indians quickly dispatched.
One or two of the men wers in
stantly tomahawked, and the others
wounded while making their es-1
capo to camp. Tho remainder of I
Vanderburg's company, on learn
ing the fate of their leader, whose
place there was no one to fill, im
mediately raided camp and fled
with all haste to the encampment
of the Pends Oreille Indians for as
sistance. Here they waited, while
those Indians, a friendly tribe,
made a effort to recover tlse body
of their unfoitunate leader; but

him, but carrying bis gun across i cauee nis death, so excited the ad
miration of the Blackfoot chief,
that he gave him permission to re
turn, unharmed, to his own camp.
Encouraged by this clemency,
Loretta begged to have his wife re
stored to him, relating bow he had
rescued her, a prisoner, from the
Crows, who would certainly have
tortured her to death. The wife
added her entreaties to his, but the
chief sternly bade him depart, and
as sternly reminded the Blackfoot
girl that she belonged to his tribe,
and could not go with enemies.
Loretta was therefore compelled to
abandon his wife and child, and
return to camp.
It is, however, gratifying to
know that so true an instant of af
fection in savage Jife was finally
rewarded ; and that when Jhe two
rival fur companies united, si they
did in the following year, Loretta -was
permitted to go to the Ameri
can Company.' fort on jhei Mis- i
souri, in the Blackfooteountry,
where he was employed as interpre
ter, assisted by his" Bfackfoot wife.. '
Such were some of tbe incidents '
that signalized this campaign in
the wilderness, whero two equally
persistent rivals were trying to out
wit one another. Subsequently,
when several years of rivalry had
somewhat exhausted both, the
Rocky Mountain and American
companies consolidated, using all
their strategy thereafter against the
Hudson's Bay Company, and any
new rival that chanced to enter
their bunting grounds.
After the fight above described
the Blackfeet drew off in the night,
showing no disposition to try their,,
skill next day against such experi
enced Indian fighters as Bridger s
brigade had shown themselves.
The company continued in the
Missouri country, trapping and tak
ing many beaver, until it reached
the Beaver Head Valley, on the
headwaters of the Jefferson fork of
the Missouri. Here tbe lateness of
the season compelled a return to
winter-quarters, and by Christmas
all the wanderers were gathered in
to camp at the forks of the Snake
River.
