The First Expedition throngh Kansas, Nebraska ond Calorado. ! &ne Change of Rulers Annvunced to the Pawnees ~Pike's Peak— Death of the Great Explorer, ‘WRITIEN FOR THE BER. NO. 11, Jefferson regarded the acqulsitlon of Louisiana Terrltory as of the most vital consequence to the fature welfare and growth of the United States, No haman Intelligence can ever fathom, no human Intelligence can ever estimate, the re- sults that would have come to pass, had this territory remalned four or five yoars Tovger a province of France, for, in that case, {t was morally certaln to be cap- tured by Great Britaln, and It would then have remained a Britlsh province. The whole aspect of the American con- tinent wounld have baen changed, the United States would, in all probabllity, have been but a third or fourth-rate power; immigration would have as- cended the Mississlppl and settled the vast reglon of country to the westward, which would have made New Orleans the great Intrepot of trade Instead of New York, and would have fixed the seat of commercial power on the Galf of Mexico. It was a magnificent stroke of pablle policy to have acquired it; and for its acqulsition Jefferson is entitled to the grativude of the American nation through all coming time, Having obtained it he set EXPLORING EXPEDITIONS on foot that the people might obtain some knowledge of its valuo, and its probablo future development. The present state of Louislans was admitted intothe unlon in1812. All the remalning terrltory west of the Mississlppi river, including, of course, Nebraska, was thereafter known as Missouri territory. The pres- ent atate of Missourl was admltted into the union in 1820. There was a long and exciting coatroversy over its ad- mlission connected with the question of elavery, the resalt of which was the adoption of the Missouri compromise line of 36° 30, which permitted slavery to extat in the rtate of Missourl, but for- cver prohiblted it north of that Iine. Out of the remaining portion of what had been the Louislana purchase, the terrltory of Wisconsia was organized In 1836, Inwa In 1838, Oregon in 1848 Min- nesota In 1840, Washington in 1853, fol- lowed by Kaneas and Nebraska in 1854, Dakota In 1861, Montanaand Idaho in 1862 and by Wyoming in 18G8. Thus all of the original Loutsiana has been ab- sorbed into states and territorles, and provided with organized governmenta. Soon afterits acquieition, Mr. Jetferson, then president, caused two exploring ex- peditions to be organized; one under Lewis & Clark, to proceed up the Mlia— souri river, and across the mountalns to the Pacific ocean; the other under Lieut. Pike, in 1806, to proceed up the Mis. ias far as the Osage country; then to explore the Oaage, Kansss, Repuablican, and Platte, or Nebraska (the latter being the Indlan name for the Platte, meaning wide, wide walter), rivers, and then to return by the way of the Arkansas and Red rivers of Loulslana. The writer will first follow the latter expedition, PIKE STARTED FROM ST, LOUIS with a licutenant and sixteen men with Dr. Robinson as surgeon, naturalist and botalnist in two sall boats, and reached the Ossge about the middle of August. Here he abandoned the hoats, and re- curlng thirty frlendly Indian warriors, struck into the interior along the Osage, the Kansas, the Republican and the Platte rivers. One object of the expedition was to make known to the different tribes of Indians, the transfer of the country and its soverelgnty from Spain to France, and then to the United States. So short a time had elapsed be- tween the cesslon to France and then to the United Statee, that they had not learned of the changes, and still supposed they were under the jurisdiction of Spain and on feast days, and in council, still tloated the Spanish flag. Another object of the expedition was to exert an in- fluence in favor of putting an end if pos- sible to the wars that were constantly carried on between the varlous tribes. The Indians generally received the news of the change from Spain to the United States favorably, and were furnished with Amerlcan flags. Plke found the Pawnees to bo the great warlike tribe in all the reglon eouth of the Platte, as the Sioux were in all the country to the northward. These two tribes were never at poace; bands from each of them could never meet without engaging in deadly conflict, »nd the strength ana bravery of each was attested by the number of scalps they had taken from the other. The Pawnees were also con- tinually fighting the Tetans, the Arapa- hoee, Kfowas and Sacs and Foxes. Pike visited them at thelr viligae, and urged them to cesse from war and live at peace with the nelghboring tribes, just as the wrlter visited them at the same vil- lage on the south side of the Platte, a lttle bslow Fremont, forty-nine years afterwards, to insist on thelr putting a stop to thelr depredations upon the set- tlers on the Elkhorn. At the time of Pike's visit he estimated thelr numbers to be 6,223, with 2,000 of them as fierce warclors and expert horse- wen, with some firearms. THEY LIVED IN THREE VILLAGES, with one as the chief or head one, where the principal chief rerided, cultivating a little corn, melons and beans, but de- pendent upon buffslo for thelr main sab- sistence. From time to time they sacri- ficed prisoners taken by them in battle, to the sun to obtain good crops. Lieut. Pike eought to induce them to abandon thle barbarous practice, but without suc- coss, It was continued down to about 1820, when Peterlesharoo, then chief, put an end to the cruel custom, This Peterlesharoo was the father of Pet:rles- haroo who was the chief of the Pawnees at the time of the capture of the tribe in 1859, by a force of 200 volunteers under the command of the writer, at what s now the town of Battle Creek, In Ma Pike was Inclined to re- s In regard to war. In that respect his judgment proved to be erroneous, for they have attained to some degree of civilizatlon, and they became friendly to the white race, having furnished eeveral companles of Pawnees for ecouts In ald ot the army in fighting their ancient en- emles, the Slonx, The various tribes had some Spauish emblems which they used for flage, which had been glven to them, as they sald, by some misslonarles who came among them many years previously, bat they were now glad to adopt the flag of the United States, and In making the exchange they made the occaslon one of roat fertivity and ocariied out the trans ger in a formal and ceremonlous manner. In the morning of the day when it was to take place, the Spanlsh flsg was at- tached to the lodge pole of the big coun- ofl tent, and at noon all the Indlans were gathered In and around it. Lieut, Pike addressed them, telling them of the change of government, and that they must henceforward recog- nize the United States as their superior authorlty. Then the great chief harrangued them on the important event which had taken place, and exhorted them to be friends to the people of the United States. It seems he did not differ In one respect from the white race, which succeeded his people as possessors of the eoll,'for he was somewhat glven to boasting; according to the interpreter, he predicted that the Pawnees would In- cresso In power and numbers, and be. come one of the great natlons on the continent. He requested the lleutenant to convey the assurance of his high re. gard to the great father at the capltal, and to invite him In the chief’s name to vlslt the Pawnee natlon, promlsing him good hunting and fishing, After the speeches the Spanish emblem low- ered, and the American enslgn was ralsed ln itsplace. Then followed A GRAND FEAST, for which the huaters had been out several days gathering In game. Similar scenes transpired with most of the tribes on changing thelr alleglance from Spain to the United Statos, Leaving the Pawnees, Pike and his party set their faces westward, followlng along the valley of the Platte on the south slde till they reached the Rocky mountalns, where Pike discovered the sources of the two forks of the Platte. He then turned southward to find the Arkansas and Red rivers, passing dl- rectly through the present state of Colo- rado from north to south. It was on thls march that his eyes first rested on the lofty pesk which rlses like a grim sentluel, keeping guard over all the other mountalne, or “‘Like some tall cliff, whose awful form Swells from the vale, and midway loaves the storm,” He gava to it the name of the *‘Grand Peak” which was, subsequently, very properly changed by the government to “Pike's Poak.” He continued on his coursy and roached the Arkansas on the 18:h of October, and after exploring some of its branches he then sought the Red river; and after suffering from scarcity of pro- vislons he came to what he took to be that stream. The season belng so far advanced, severely cold weather was sst— ting in, he decided to go Into quarters for the winter. The party built a tempor- ory fort, and sought to make themselves comfortable as they could. They were then wholly dependant upon huntiog for their support, thelr provisions being en- tlraly exhausted and gawe was very scarse. About mld winter A COMPANY OF SPANISH DRAGOONS under command of a lisutenant sppeared at his fort and stated that the governor of the province desired to know who he was, and what he was dolng thers? Lleut. Pike Informed the officer that he was engaged In exploring the country, and it being 8o late in the season he had been obliged to construct a temporary fort on Red river for the protection of his party till spring opened. The officer informed him that instead of belng on Red river In the United States, he was on the Rio del Norte in one of the pro- vinces ot Old Mexico. This was the firat intimation Plps had that he had lost his bearings and was not on Red river. The officer also informecd him that the gover- nor dedired him to report in person at Santa Fe, a few days journey distant. Thither Pike proceeded and gave such a satlsfactory explanation that the gover- nor became fully convinced of his perfect good falth, and permitted him to depart for Texas, when he returned to the Uni- ted States. The governor was the more susplclous of Pike and his party for the reason that at that very time Aaron Burr was agltating the establishment of an empire in the southwest, embracing Texas and the northern provinces of Mexlco, and he at ficst suspected Plke’s party of being conneoted with the move- ment. In the war of 1812-16 Pike was made a brigadler general and commanded an expedition agalnst the town of York, now Toronto, in Upper Canada. After he had captured the first fort, and while preparing to move on the next, the fort was blown up, supposed to have been mined by the enemy, and GEN, PIKE WAS INSTANTSLY KILLED. His remains were taken to near Law- renceburg, Ind., and Jaid away in a lone- ly place by the wayside, hard by the banks of the Ohlo. Thus ended the life of the Intrepld explorer and dlscoverer of the majestic peak whose name it boars, and which has been the beacon light for so many weary travelera over the desolate plalns In pursult of fortune or of death, and which will bear hls name to the latest perlod of time, Millions of tongues have uttered it, while he, all unconsclous, has been sailing o’er the unexplored sea from which no one over returns to bring us tidings.
