It is documented that he was wearing his military chapeau at this time, and in this painting, he has on an Indian-style leather war shirt, which has strips quilled in the Mandan fashion on each arm. Expedition members sent a couple of these war shirts to President Jefferson. Lewis also bas on a pair of undecorated, plains-style moccasins. H is linen overalls are well patched and stained. Lewis mentioned in his journals that he strapped Musicians, p. 30 on his knapsack for the first time in the mountainous region of present-day Montana. His hunting equipment consists of a leather hunting bag, a powder horn with a carved and blackened spout and a rifle. The Lewis family owned the English telescope Lewis is holding until the early 1970s, and family members believe Lewis carried it on the expedition. Its main tube is a beautiful honey-colored wood with brass fittings.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

  • Route of Meriwether Lewis from Harpers Ferry, Va. to Pittsburgh, Pa
    Route of Meriwether Lewis from Harpers Ferry, Va. to Pittsburgh, Pa. July 8 – July 15, 1803 by David T. Gilbert National Park Service Harpers Ferry, West Virginia May 5, 2003 (Revised September 28, 2015) Introduction The route which Meriwether Lewis traveled from Harpers Ferry, Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, between July 8 and July 15, 1803, has not been well documented 1. The only primary source we have is a letter Lewis penned to President Jefferson from Harpers Ferry on July 8, 1803: I shall set out myself in the course of an hour, taking the route of Charlestown, Frankfort, Uniontown and Redstone old fort to Pittsburgh, at which place I shall most probably arrive on the 15th.2 Route of Meriwether Lewis July 8-July 15, 1803 Pittsburgh R Elizabeth E V I Petersons R Brownsville Pennsylvania O I H (Redstone old fort) O Uniontown Farmington POT OMA Cumberland C R IV Grantsville E M R O Maryland Forks of N Cacapon Harpers O N Fort Ashby Ferry G Brucetown A (Frankfort) H E Gainesboro L A Winchester R I West Virginia V Charles Town E R Virginia 1. With the exception of quoted primary sources, this document uses the contemporary spelling, Harpers Ferry, and not the 19th century spelling, Harper’s Ferry. Harpers Ferry was part of Virginia until June 20, 1863, when the state of West Virginia was created by Presidential Proclamation. 2.
