rASCINATING nre the "Decisive Bnttles
of the World" If not In themselves ns
buttles, then In their effects upon his-
IvtI tory. Hut inuny an armed contest
s?l' rather a skirmish from a military
t l viewpoint tnnn n -tiecisivu uhkukv-
ment has had far-reaching results
which make n fascinating story. For
example:
Chnmplnln, In discovering tho lako
that bears hlB name, used his arque
buses on a band of Indians from tho
Ironuols Confederacy and set them
running homo to the Mohawk valley of New York.
This wus In 1000, two years after tho founding of
Jamestown, eleven years before the Inndlng of tho
Pilgrims nnd eighty years before tho beginning of
the armed clash between tho French nnd English
for the possession of America.
It Is a far cry from 1009 to 1022; from Now
York to Montana; from Iroquois to Flnthends.
Just the same, It was Chnmplnln who set the feet
of Marcus Whitman and Wither Pierre-Jean Do
Smet, S. J., on the Oregon Trail two centuries
later. Marcus Whitman, Presbyterian missionary,
patriot, statesman and martyr, saved Oregon nnd
the Pacific Northwest for the United States. Fa
ther Dc Smet, greatest and most practical mission
ary who ever labored among tho American In
dians, dotted tho far Northwest with religious
nnd educational establishments, kept many n
savage tribe from tho warpath and served well
the government of his adopted land. The history
of the American Northwest ennnot bo told without
Whitman nnd Do Smet both of whom Chnmplnln
started over the Oregon Trnll to everlasting fame.
And here Is the story In brief, with Its fascinating
uequlturs sequences of cause hnd effect:
Tho Iroquois Confederacy, becnuso of Cham
plain's attack, swore undying enmity to tho
French. Tho Indians of this unique confederacy
Moluiwks, Cnyugas, Onondngns, Senecas, Oneldas""
nnd Tuscnroras by the time the French nnd Brit
ish came to grips In 10S9, were dictatorial over
lords of all the tribes from Hudson's bay to tho
Cherokee frontier of tho Cnrollnas and from tho
Connecticut to tho Mississippi. Their geograph
ical location and Inilucncognve them the balonco
of power between tho French and tho. British.
They were a big factor In tho several wars which
flnnlly resulted In tho expulsion of tho French
after tho capture of Quebec by Wolfo In 17fif.
In the Revolution nil the Iroquois kept on siding
with the British, except tho Oneldas and part of
tho Tuscaroras. They laid wnste tho American
frontier. Sulllvnn led nn American punitive expe
dition and destroyed their homes, crops and or
elmrds. The outcome of tho Revolution drove tho
four hostile tribes to Canada.
In Canada many of tho exiled Iroquois were
Christianized by Jesuit missionaries, whose prin
cipal work In America had been In New Franco
and tho French possessions.
In 1810 a party of 21 Iroquois left the Romnn
Catholic mission of.Caughmtwiign, Canada, on the
St. Lawrence and struck out across the Mississippi
valley. They ended up among tho Flatheads of
the Bitter Root valley. These Iroquois were led
by Ignatius La Mousse (Old Ignace), who achieved
n dominating Inlluenco among the Flatheads,
taught them the rites of the Roman Catholic re
ligion and created a tribal deslro for the presence
of Ulnckrobes (Jesuit missionaries) which resulted
In a decision In ISIJO to send a delegation to tho
white man's country to ask for them.
Hero It Is profitable to glance at the chronology
of this part of tho West, which was Just beginning
to get acquainted with tho white man. St. Louis
was founded In 1708. Tho Lewis nnd Clark expe
dition (1801-0) hud pnssed through their country,
'john Colter had discovered the Yellowstono In
,1807, only to havo It ridiculed as an Impossibility
'nnd dubbed "Colter's Hell." Astoria had been
established In 1812. Gen. William 11. Ashley and his
nssoclntes of tho Rocky Mountain Fur compnny,
with hendquarters at St. Louis, had begun to uso
the Oregon Trail soon after 1822 on their trips to
nnd from the annual rendezvous In the Green
River vnlley, or In Pierre's Hole-under tho Tetons.
Four braves volunteered to carry the request for
Blnckrohes to St. Louis. There were Blackrobes
nt this outpost of civilization. Their presence
there Is a story In Itself. The restoration of tho
Society of Jesus in 1814, nfter 41 years of suppres
sion, found n few old Jesuit priests nt Whltemarsh,
Md who had established there the first novltlato
in the United States. In 182.1 nn offer of land nt
St. Louis wus made to them. Twelvo set out for
St. Louis April 11, 1823. They walked all tho way,
carrying their goods In wagons. Among them was
young Do Smet, who had como from Belgium In
1821 nt the nge of twenty. In 1827 ho wns or
dained priest. In 1831 tho Missouri mission wns
mndo Independent. In 1831 tho petition of the
Second Provincial council nt Baltimore thnt tho
Indlnn Roman Catholic missions of the United
States ho confined to tho Society of Jesus was
granted nt Rome. Thus the Jesuits entered upon
a virgin field of labor of more than half the area
of the United Stntcs.
Tho four Flatheads Joined the 1831 return
train of William L. Sublette, one of the famous
Rocky Mountain Fur compnny's trnders, and
reached St. Louis October 1. They presented their
petition to Bishop Rosntl. Two of tho Indians fell
.111. They died nnd wero burled In tho Romnn
Catholic cemetery. Tho two survivors left St.
Louis tho following spring, but never renched
home. They may be the two Indians Georgo Cat
lln painted Nos. 207 and 20S In his gallery of
Indlnn pnlntlngs.
This unique request from the Flnthends gained
nation-wide publicity. A sympathetic account wns
published In tho Christian Advocnte. In 1S33 an
editorial In tho Christian Advocato pronounced It
a call to tho Christian conscience of tho world
and exhorted tho Protestant churches to tako It
up In earnest. In those days, to the East, the nnmo
Flathead Included all tho tribes In the vast nrea
from Montnna to the mouth of the Columbia nnd
northwnrd Into Canada.
The Methodists raised funds nnd In 1831 started
a missionary expedition under tho leadership of
Jnson Lee of Cnnnda. The party kept on past
tho Bitter Root country and began operations non
the mouth of the Columbia.
Tho Presbyterians In 1835 sent Marcus Whitman
to Oregon. He returned, reported, and In 1830
went buck with his wife nnd n pnrty to begin his
labors at Walllatpu among tho Cayuses.
Thus tho net result of tho first Flathead expe
dition to St. Louis for Blnckrohes In Montana was
Protestant missionaries In Oregon.
Tho Flatheads of Montana tried n second time
to get n Blnckrobe. In 1830 Old Ignnco with his
sons Charles and Francis went to St. Louis and
returned tho following spring with the promise
thnt a Blackrobo would he sent In time.
In 1837 tho Flatheads started their third deputa
tion. In consisted of Old Ignace, three Flatheads
and a Nez Perce. All wero massacred by Sioux
en route to St. Louis.
Not In tho lenst disheartened by theso three
failures, the Flatheads sent to St. Louis n fourth
time. The two petitioners, Young Ignnco and
Pierre Gaucher, traveled safely by canoo down tho
Yellowstono and Missouri nnd arrived October 21,
1830. Bishop Rosntl promised them n Blnckrobe
the following spring. Gnuchcr immediately set
out with the good news. He arrived In the Bitter
Root valloy early In the spring a most remark
able Journey.
Father Do Smet volunteered for tho arduous
mission. At Westport (Knnsns City) ho Joined
tho 1810 expedition of the American Fur compnny
to tho Green River rendezvous. There Do Smet
found Gaucher and ten Flnthends to meet him.
They went to Pierre's Hole, whoro wero encamped
the main body of the Flnthends, who had como
800 miles to meet him, together with bands of Nez
Perccs, Pend d'Orellles and Kullspels about 1,000
In all. He baptized and Instructed, postponed his
visit to tho Bitter Root nnd renched St. Louis by
way of tho Jefferson and Missouri rivers Decem
ber 81, 1840.
Ho wns then Informed that thero were no funds
for the promised expedition. So ho went out and
raised funds. Tho spring of 1841 found him on
the Oregon Trail, accompanied by two priests and
three lay brothers. At Fort Hill on the Snnko
river In August he was met by nn ndvnnce party
of Flatheads. Passing through the site of Mis
soula, they went 30 miles Into the Bitter1 Root
vnlley, nrrlvlng September 24. There nnd then
Do Smet began work on St. Mary's mission.
De Smet, In the spring of 1842, made a Journey
of Inspection as far as the mouth of the Columbia.
Thnt fall found; him again In St. Louis. In 1843
ho solicited for'the mission south to New Orlenns
nnd east to Boston, nnd took three recruits nnd
supplies to Westport and started them west.
Then lie set sail for Europe. After visiting tho
principal cities of six countries ho embarked at
Antwerp December 12, 1843, with four fathers, a
lay brother and six sisters and supplies. Tho
voyage was around Cape Horn. They were'nearly
wrecked on the Columbia river bar, but landed
safely July 31, 18-14, and went nt onco to the Bit
ter Root mission.
These Bitter Root Flatheads, by the way, seem
to have been too good Jo be true. AH cxplorors,
traders and travelers bear witness to their high
moral character and attractive ways. De Smet
says of them:
"I was not able to discover nmong these peoiilo
tho slightest blameworthy act, unless It wns their
gambling, In which they often venturo everything
they possess. Theso games wore unanimously i
nf wtllutimf (id L'Arm nu T linjt ail.. I., n.1 . .1 ..... '
111uiiii.u, no ouuii na m. nun .-Ajiliii.iui. IW llltllll I I1IIC
they were contrary to the commandment of God,
... I have often asked myself: 'Is It theso
people whom the civilized nations dare to call by
thu name of savages?' "
De Smet then passed two strenuous years In
exploring, visiting tribes and establishing missions)
Ho arrived at St. Louis December 10, 1810.
What had he accomplished In the seven -yean;
since he first hit the Oregon Trail? For ono thing,
his labors, travels, hardships and perils belong In
the first rank of similar expjolts. He had traveled
nearly r0,000 miles In every nirt of conveynnco
and In every kind of climnte. As he onco wrote:
"I wns two years In the mountains without tast
Ing bread, salt, coffee, ten, sugar. I was for years
wllthout a roof, without a bed. I havo been six
months without a shirt on my back, and often I
have passed whole days and nights without n mor
sel of anything to ent."
These arduous labors had at lenst this rewnrd:
lie hud becomo a great power among the Indian,
tribes. All knew him, either personally or by repj
utatlon. Also bo was perhaps the one white man
whom all trusted. So trusted was he that tho
United Uilon government at lenst flvo times
asked his services as a mediator with various
tribes.
Tho ordlnnry, usual settlement- of the Bitter
Root country began In 1SG1 nt Missoula now n
modern city of 15,000, which played host last sum
mor to tho National Editorial association. Tho
Flatheads aro Its near neighbors on a reservation
they havo occupied slnco 1801.
The 1022 equivalent of Do Smet's establishment
In 1811 of St. Mary's mission In tho Bktcr Root
vnlley Is tho Mission of St. Ignatius and the Sis
ters of Charity of Providence at St. Ignatius In
tho present Flathead reservation lying betwoen
Missoula and Flathead lake. The original St.
Mary's In the Bitter Root valley Is now Stevens
vllle. Thero stands St. Mary's church, built by
Father Anthony Rnvnlll In 1800. This "kind, good
priest and friend of all mankind" nrrlved nt tho
mission In 184f and for forty years'mlnlstered to
all alike, Indian and white man, Romnn Cnthollc
and Protestant. His tombstone stands In tho cem
etery buck of St. Mary's and Rnvnlll, n town In
the Jocko valley, bears his name.
