Out of Old Nebraska . . .
Sioux Impressed
by Military Might
During the 1840’s, with the
number of overland emigrants
swelling each year, the federal
government was besieged with
demands for protection from the
Indians along the trail. One
means by which the government
furnished that protection was to
send troops over the trail to con
fer with the Indians and to im
press them with the military
might of the Great White Father.
Such an expedition was led a
cross Nebraska in the summer of
1845 by Col. Stephen Watts Kear
ny, who with 250 men traveled
from Ft. Leavenworth to South
Pass and back again in the 99
days from May 18 to August 24.
They went out along the Oregon
Trail to South Pass, retraced their
steps to Ft. Laramie, then cut
over to the South Platte, return
ing to Ft. Leavenworth along the
valley of the Arkansas and over
the Santa Fe trail.
Colonel Kearny's soldiers
were well armed, and had 2
howiisers with them. Their
guide was the intrepid moun
tain man, Thomas Fitspahrick.
Their mission was to cultivate
peace with the Indians, while
at the same time impressing
upon them the danger of mo
lesting the emigrants.
Kearny felt that his expedition
was successful. He reported that
the Indians “were distinctly told
that the road . . . must not be
closed . . . and that the white
people traveling upon it must not
be disturbed, either in thier per
sons or property.”
The howitzers, discharged for
the benefit and amazement of the
Indian, appear to have had a par
ticularly salutary effect. Appar
ently the men’s uniforms and fine
horses had the same desirable ef
fect.
At Ft. Laramie (then a fur
trading post rather than a mili
tary establishment) C o 1 o n e 1
Kearny held a council with the
Sioux. He told the thousand In
dians assembled on the Laramie
plain that he had come to open a
road to the waters of the setting
sun and that Indians who dis
turbed the emigrants would be
subject to swift punishment He
particularly warned the Sioux a
gainst whisky, stating that it was
the greatest enemy among them.
Bull Tail, the principal chief
present, promised obedience, af
ter w’hich Colonel Kearny distri
buted presents. Three shots from
the howitzers echoed down the
Laramie valley and the council
was over.
Colonel Kearny was much im
pressed by the size of the emigra
tion. By the time he reached
South Pass he had overtaken a
bout 850 men, 475, women, 1,000
children, 7,000 cattle, 400 horses
and mules and 460 wagons.
