John Work ...
One of Dr. McLoughlin's
ablest and best-named chiefs
In the field was John Work. He
was a prime penman with sim
ple language, and his daybooks
well reflect how the enterprises
of the Hudson's Bay Company
were carried on with the In
dians. On Dec. 17, 1825, John Work
and his men were east of the
headwaters of the Spokane river,
for trade with the Flathead In
dians. Some 70 rode into camp,
"singing and firing guns and
with a flag flying." The salute
was answered with a volley of
muskets from the traders.
The chiefs and a few of their
head men were received in "the
gentlemen's house," the com
moners were given shelter in
"the Indian house."
There was a powerful lot of
smoking, with John Work wor
rying greatly about the tobacco
aupply. He and his men faced a
hard winter, then the spring
trading, and an April rendezvous
down at the fork of the Colum
bia with other homeward bound
brigades.
Fur Trade Winter ...
The next day was Sunday
but trading began early. First
of all, a present of "20 Ball &
Powder & 2 feet of Tobacco was
made to each of the Chiefs."
Other presents were given to
Important Indians.
Work was told by the Indians
that, due to bad ground and the
weakness of the horses, there
would be little winter buffalo
hunting but much beaver trap
ping. The trade of the day amounted
to 329 beaver skins, a few other
kinds of skins with one lone
otter and 3,122 pounds of dried
buffalo and deer meat.
How much of ammunition,
tobacco, knives, blankets and
other items the Indians received
is not reported. Trader Work
was disappointed with his re
turns. The winter dragged on, with
but a dribble of trade. On Christ
mas day John Work gave his
two hands a dram each, with
extra rations of fresh meat, a
tongue and a quart of flour. "For
the old freeman Bastang the
same," he wrote.
At year's end they had gath
ered 67 bales of meats and fats,
any bale being held to 84 pounds
for effective portage on the river
course. On New Year's Day each
of the men was given, "accord
ing to custom" an extra ration
of six pounds of fresh venison,
two pounds of back fat, one buf
falo tongue, one pint of flour,
and one pint of rum Governor
Simpson not having instituted
Prohibition as yet.
Good Work . . .
Then the daily rounds went
on, with labor on repairs and
gumming of canoes, the making
of paddles, the packing of furs
and meats and of such items as
"appiehiman and parrefliches."
When the Indians came there
was gambling, the red men even
squatting out in the snow to play
the games.
Other doings .were the procur
ing of canoe timber and bark,
the making of troughs in which
to beat meat and pound pem
mican, the chopping of cord
wood, and the building of an
upper floor in a house of the
post.
John Work let no man stay
idle. There was some traveling
across the Coeur d'Alene portage
and down the river to Spokane
Falls, and visitors tramped in
from the fort there.
Now and then news would
come of a starving barfd of In
dians and food would be packed
to them. Peace was kept. Friends
were made.
John Work went on with the
work of a good company man.
In spring he duly brought his
bales to the spring rendezvous
and joined the bridgades on the
great river for the run to the
fabulous fort of white-named
John McLoughlin.
John Work wrote it all down
in plainest words, a story of one
good day's work after another
for the great Hudson's Bay Com
pany lords in London 130 years
ago.
