U q PRs PAGE SIX N City With Name Retaining tory Behind, Views\Future With Confidence CITIZENS CO-OPERATE Mandan is one of the cities in the Northwest that retains in its very name,a.zeminder of the won- derful history of the region that I to the white man’s oc- cupation nearly 200 years ago. The name of the city, located beyond the west bank of the Missouri, was chosen after the Mandan Indian tribe that inhabited the country. | In, the pageant to be. given, in celebration of the opening of the bridge and in honor of the pio- neers Mandan will feature many incidents in history that her peo- *’ ‘ple cling to as exclusively theiré, = the most famous of which is the = Lewis and Clark exploration land- \ ing in 1804. Believing that the new’ bridge brings a new fellowship to the . “Twin Cities of the Slope,” Man- = dan has cooperated with Bismarck in making the celebration of Sep- = tember 18, 19, and 20 one long to be remembered. The city sees - great progress ahead in the de- velopment of transportation to follow the completion of the bridge. Indians There in 1850 The Mandan Indians occupied nine villages on the west bank of the Heart river. near its mouth in 1750, three miles from the present townsite of Mandan. The Indians were known as peaceful tribes and were industrious. . The Lewis and Clark Expedition wintered 1804-05 at Fort. Mandan, north of the present City of Man- dan, and it was at this point on Christmas day, December 24, 1804, that the American flag was raised for the first time in what is now North Dakota. The\ visit of these _famous explorers forms an inter- esting page in history. and furnish- es one of the episodes for the his- torical pageant. It was from the winter camp that Sakakawea “The Bird Woman,” guided them on their Pacific Coast journey, and aided them to escape hostile Indians. The fight of fur traders for con- trol of the northern Missouri ter- ritory marks another page in his- ,tory of Mandan and vicinity... It ~-was in 1882 that an expedition of the Missouri Fur Trading Com- pany. came here and wrested the , company. The conquests of the early Sur traders was carried by many picturesque and hardy men SUNN “Make MI no happy medium. 7 , BE HEALTHY, STREET SCENE IN MANDAN Hint of Remarkable His-j _ MANDAN REVIEWS HER STIRRING - {a HISTORY, LOOKS T0 FUTURE || purposes and many of the best lots 1 | whose path, was frequently strewn with blood. ~ Old For8 Abraham Lincoln, five miles south of Mandan, still con- tains a reminder of the days: o! General Custér; a concrete réller standing on the parade grounds. ‘The site is often visited by tour- ists. The ‘first store was opened in Mandan in the early 70’s by C. F. Kirschman on the site of the pres- ent Redman residence. The city of Mandan was established in 1879, when the-railroad tracks had been laid across the ice and’ the work was being carried west. D. R. Taylor. at present a druggist of Mandan was the first superintend- ‘ent in Mandan of. the Northern Pacific. The first newspaper west of the Missouri river was the Man- dan Weekly Poneer which was es- ablished in 1881, The. First Na- tional Bank was also established in the same year. the Hudson Bay; ‘ Volumes have been written about the life of Theodore Roosevelt and there are residents of Mandan who remember when the young man was a deputy sheriff :in 1883 and frequently came, to’ Mandan. Story of City’s Founding An accurate story of the found- ing, of indan is told in -M, H. Jewell’s directory of 1879. It reads: “Until last winter ~ (1878) the boundaries of Morton county:-ex- tended to the Missouri river. The county . seat had been located: at .| Lincoln city nearly opposite Bis- marck about one: mile.,from the river. A good substantial log court- house was built which together with a small shack constituted the city. Several hundred dollars ‘worth of county books were’ pur- chased and lot jumpers had just commenced... to arrive, when. the news came that the boundaries of Burleigh county had been extended by the legislature, taking in a large portion of Morton county. “About this’ time a_ rival. city made its appearance and articles, of incorporation of the ‘Sheridan’ townsite company were published. The location was chosen about a half ‘mile east of: the present ‘site of Mandan, byt as soon as the lat- ter city had gained foothold and a name, the few buildings which had been erected, at Sheridan. were re- \ moved and are now, located at Man- j dan. i “General Rosser, chief engineer of the N. P. railroad, arrived at } Bismarck in January, to superin- \tend* laying a track on the ice ‘across the. Missouri river, for. the purpose of transporting supplies for the ex@ehsion. The ice was fully three feet thick, and the scheme worked to perfection. 0; the 12th of February the tied | train, consisting of an engine and Good or. ce Make Room’ This has been called “The Tragedy of Progresd.” A business man or a business woman in this Twentieth Century must do one of these two- things, i. e., “Make Good” or “Make Room” for someone else.

Tell of Lignite Fields “Before: finishing this ‘chapter it may ‘be opportune to make men- tion of: the country’s resources for fuel. The lands along the “Mis- souri river will, in the course of a few years, become stripped of their timber, but Nature has provided bounteously for future generations, | if they will but dig. Underneath us lies, one vast field of lignite coal, cropping out on the surface of ‘the ground in several places in this im- mediate vicinity. In 1873 Mr. Den- nis’ Hannifin (eccentric Denny) with a: party of two or three, and a’ wagon-load of lumber, , started across 'the river, due west, to ex- plore the country. . It was unsafe at that-time to venture’ half‘a’ mile from Ft. Lincoln, the Indians often attacking the post, stealing, stock, etc, But Mr. Hannifin, with true Western grit and trusty rifle suc- ceeded' in reaching a point now called the Coal Banks, the presen’ terminys:of the track on the exten- sion. Here a three-foot vein of coal was discovered and it being a good point to protect’ themselves from ‘the Indians, their lumber was used in building a fort in the side of a bluff overlooking the prairie, which was called Ft. Hannifin. Mr. Han- nifin believed that some day that coal bank would be worth some- thing, “and therefore staked out over 600\‘acres. A company was soon organized and a description of the'claim put on file at Wash- ington.” ; 5 Among the men who were identi- fied with Custer are J. C. Greigh- ton and W. C. Badger of Mandan. Whe latter was a boy at the time and a protege of Gen. Custer, He was the son of an army officer’ in the Custer command. J. C. Greigh- ton was with the Custer troops: i 1876 and was with Major Reho’s column at the time of the Custer massacre. -Several of the Indians; who were in the Custer battle, are still-living in the territory south of Mandan... ' Mrs: Agnes Lang of Mandan, is the widow of another old’ timer, who, was identified with General Custer: He went as a teamster on|% the Black Hills expedition but re- mained in charge of supplies at the, Fort ‘during the ill-fated expedition of 1876. He afterward established a grocery store in Mandan. \ .. Becomes Railroad Center The city. of Mandan developed not more. slowly than many other cities, and as it became the division point of the Northern Pacific and later the: shops were built there, it began to take on new importance: With’a great agricultural and stock country ‘contiguous to it, Mandan occupied’ an important place in western North Dakota. ae The city -continues to promotg| agriculture through /the Missouri Slope Fair, and the {United States Great Plains Experimental Station is located .just, south of Mandan. ‘the citizens are endeavoring ‘to improve the city through: a park syetem, and already have estab- lished a park.
