  • Fur Traders' Pistols Charles E
    Fur Traders' Pistols Charles E. Hanson, Jr. The fur trade lasted over 400 years as our frontiers moved slowly to the west and- north across North America. Hundreds of thousands of guns were used by white traders and sold to Indians. Some of them were, quite naturally, pistols. Ordinarily Indians used long guns for hunting and were not too interested in pistols. However, a few were sold to them by British companies in the 18th Century and hundreds more were issued to Indian allies by the British during the War of 1812. Traders and their employees in the wilderness habitually carried both pocket and holster pistols for protection. The photographs show a few ordinary utility pistols which have possible association with the fur trade either by virtue of the location where they were collected or by In 1803, Alexander Mackenzie & Co., received from the name of their maker; there are others in various England: "6 prs. 10 in. pistols, sights, etc. and 3 prs. ditto, museums.

  • A Lasting Legacy: the Lewis And
    WashingtonHistory.org A LASTING LEGACY The Lewis and Clark Place Names of the Pacific Northwest—Part II By Allen "Doc" Wesselius COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2001: Vol. 15, No. 2 This is the second in a four-part series discussing the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the explorers' efforts to identify, for posterity, elements of the Northwest landscape that they encountered on their journey. Columbia River "The Great River of the West" was on the maps that Lewis and Clark brought with them but the cartographic lore of its upper reach influenced William Clark when he identified the supposed upper fork as "Tarcouche Tesse." British explorer Alexander Mackenzie had called the northern reach of the river "Tacoutche Tesse" in his 1793 journals and map. When the explorers realized they had reached the Columbia River on October 16, 1805, they also discerned that they would not discover the source of the drainage, important as that was for establishing the future sovereignty of the region. After Lewis & Clark determined that there was no short portage route between the Missouri and Columbia rivers, the myth of a Northwest Passage evaporated. The priority for the expedition now was to achieve the primary goal of its mission by reaching the mouth of the Columbia River. American rights of discovery to the Columbia were based on Robert Gray's crossing of the bar in 1792 at the river's discharge into the Pacific. He explored the waterway's western bay and named it "Columbia's River" after his ship, Columbia Rediviva.

  • 189. (3) Exploration of City of Rocks And
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES EXPLORATION OF CITY OF ROCKS AND GRANITE PASS Number 189 August 1995 An expedition of Pacific Fur Company beaver hunters explored Snake River past Raft River in 1811, but that party was headed for a new Pacific Coast trading post at Astoria. Under Wilson Price Hunt’s and Donald Mackenzie’s supervision, that crew hurried west over a difficult route that discouraged extensive examination of side streams for several years. Ramsay Crooks and Robert Stuart brought a return party back up Snake River in 1812,1 but again they saw Cache Peak only from a considerable distance. Donald Mackenzie, however, was firmly convinced that a large scale Snake country fur trade would pay off, and in 1816 he returned as a North West Company partner to realize his ambition to start a large new trappers’ empire. By 1818, Mackenzie returned with a fairly large brigade of French Canadian and Iroquois trappers that included a variety of other people as well. His North West Company contingent moved over a broad area, enabling him to explore from Bear Lake and Upper Bear River on to Green River farther into Wyoming. He also checked Upper Snake River. Concluding his Snake country operations in 1820, he had established a system of mobile trapping and summer trading rendezvous that expanded2 trapping activities to Upper Raft River near City of Rocks. In 1822 Michel Bourdon brought Mackenzie’s brigade of trappers3 back to places like Cache Valley, where he explored new streams, and by 1824, that expansion extended to Upper Raft River and Tributary Creek in or close to City of Rocks.

  • On the Far Fringes of Two Empires
    On the Far Fringes of Two Empires By Jeff LaLande Euro-Americans penetrated southeastern Oregon in the 1820s when British fur-trapping brigades sought to trap out the streams and discourage American exploration. In the 1840s Americans followed the trappers’ trails and began to record the region's geography on maps. The Northern Paiute struggled with the beginnings of white settlement during the 1840s and 1850s, and the resulting hostile interactions bought the U.S. Army to the High Desert. The so-called Snake Indian Wars of the 1860s ended with the Natives’ defeat and their relocation to a reservation. Far from the ocean and with no great rivers flowing through it, southeastern Oregon remained unexplored long after the first whites had been in other parts of the Pacific Northwest. In 1805-1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery, the first Americans to explore the interior of the Pacific Northwest, followed rivers that flowed considerably to the north of the High Desert. In 1811, New York fur magnate John Jacob Astor’s men stumbled their way through a different route on their way to the Pacific, also passing well north of the Great Basin. Peter Skene Ogden’s Snake Country Brigades in 1826-1827 brought the first non-Indians through the heart of southeastern Oregon. The term “Snake Country” came from neighboring Indians’ name for the Shoshone and Paiute of the Snake River Plain and the northern Great Basin. This party of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) trappers included nearly forty French Canadian, Métis, and Iroquois men.
