Σελίδα 13 - Congress of the daring and distinguished valour displayed by himself and the regiment of volunteers under his command, in charging, and essentially contributing to vanquish, the combined British and Indian forces...
Σελίδα 302 - August last, the question of admission under it was submitted to a popular vote, the citizens rejected it by nearly ten to one, thus showing conclusively, that I was right when I said that the Lecompton Constitution was not the act and deed of the people of Kansas, and did not embody their will.
Σελίδα 126 - FORD, who commands the other detachment of the expedition—"our company when joined with yours, will be very large— much the largest that has ever crossed the Rocky Mountains. There are in the independent Oregon Colony, at this date, 1 minister, 1 lawyer, 1 millwright, 3 millers, 1 tailor, 2 cabinet makers, 5 carpenters, 1 ship-carpenter, 3 blacksmiths, 1 cooper, 1 tailoress, 1 wheelwright, 2 shoemakers, 1 weaver, 1 gunsmith, 1 wagonmaker, 1 merchant, and the rest farmers. There are 48 families,...
Σελίδα 165 - ... United States are also anxious to restore and concentrate said tribes to a state so desirable and necessary for the happiness of their people, as well as to enable the Government to arrange and manage its intercourse with them: Now, therefore, the United States and the said Indians do hereby agree that said people shall hereafter be known as a nation, to be called the Pottowautomie Nation...
Σελίδα 325 - City route of $0.67 per 100 pounds. There are two reasons, however, why this advantage is practically not now attainable: first, the neighborhood of Fort Randall, as a depot for supplies, men, and animals, is not to be compared with Nebraska City, the former being in a comparatively barren country destitute of inhabitants, and where the necessary store-houses can only be constructed at an expense not less than $100,000 ; second, the great difficulties of the route from Fort Randall west. That it...
Σελίδα 54 - From this cave about 400,000 pounds of lead ore have been taken, with little labor, and the operation was still continued. The land is of the best quality, and covered with timber. A town called Van Buren (which name has also been given to the mines and cave adjacent, has been laid out, and that part of the country is rapidly increasing in population".
Σελίδα 348 - The bow of the vessel exhibits a huge serpent, black and scaly, rising out of the water from under the boat, his head as high as the deck, darted forward, his mouth open, vomiting smoke, and apparently carrying the boat on his back. From under the boat, at its stern, issues a stream of foaming water, dashing violently along. All the machinery is hid.
Σελίδα 76 - ... now presents. In whatever direction you turn nothing but sad wrecks of mortality meet the eye; lodges standing on every hill, but not a streak of smoke rising from them. Not a sound can be heard to break the awful stillness, save the ominous croak of ravens and the mournful howl of wolves, fattening on the human carcasses that lie strewed around. It seems as if the very genius of desolation had stalked through the prairies and wreaked his vengeance on everything bearing the shape of humanity.
Σελίδα 352 - The position at the Council Bluff is a very important one, and the post will consequently be rendered strong, and will be occupied by a sufficient garrison. It is about half way between St. Louis and the Mandan village, and is at that point on the Missouri, which approaches the nearest to the post at the mouth of the St. Peter's, with which, in the event of hostilities, it may cooperate. It is besides not...
Σελίδα 372 - Ghent; and, in the year 1816, Congress passed a law which authorized the President to prohibit foreigners from trading with the Indians residing within our limits, and instructions have been given under the act to prevent such trade; but it is obvious that the act and instructions to Indian agents can have but little efficacy to remedy the evil. Without a military force properly distributed the trade would still be continued, and even if it were prevented, that which is more...
