"Sources of Northwest History No. 22." "Reprinted from the Historical Section of The Frontier and Midland, a magazine of the Northwest, published at the Montana State University, Missoula. Vol. XV, No. 4, Summer 1935." This issue contains a brief history of the nascent years of newspaper journalism in Montana Territory and other states or territories in the western United States. The Montana Post is highlighted for arguably being the first newspaper published in Montana. Its first issue ran on August 27, 1864 although a small sheet produced by Wilbur F. Sanders, Ben R. Dittes, D.W. Tilton, and John A. Creighton is credited as being another candidate when it was published on February 17, 1864. Other newspapers of note are named such as the Rocky Mountain Gazette, the Lewiston Radiator, the Helena Herald, the Montana Democrat, the Deer Lodge Independent, and the Missoula and Cedar Creek Pioneer. Author Robert L. Housman describes the bustling mining camps in which these pioneer newspapers found their target audience. Much of the content of western pioneer newspapers was about mining, relations between Indigenous people and white settlers, and local events. Housman also describes the effort and toil it took to get a newspaper office up and running at the time such as sourcing printing presses and like materials throughout the U.S., sawing presses in half to transport them by pack animal, assembling the news into a finished paper, and competition between rival newspapers.

Nine pages, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact except for light age toning throughout, slightly bumped corners, and one tiny… closed tear each on spine and fore-edge of front cover. A Very Good copy. "Sources of Northwest History No. 19." "Reprinted from the Historical Section of The Frontier, a magazine of the Northwest, published at the State University of Montana, Missoula. Vol. XIII, No. 4, May, 1933." This issue contains two reprinted letters written in 1865 by Hiram D. Upham (1839-?), an American trader and clerk and agent who worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Please note that derogatory terms and sentiments are expressed toward Indigenous Peoples in these letters. During his time at BIA, Upham worked in different places in the United States but of particular note is the period when he worked at Fort Benton which had been built for the American Fur Company. Fort Benton was the headquarters of BIA's agency for the Blackfoot tribe. At Fort Benton, Upham first worked as a clerk for BIA agent Gad E. Upson. In 1865, Upham helped Upson negotiate an unratified treaty with the Blackfeet that ceded all of their lands south of the Missouri River. Upham acted as interim agent for the Blackfeet upon Upson's passing in 1866 until George B. Wright arrived and took over one year later. In that brief span of time, wars resumed between the Blackfeet, Blood, and Piegan tribes despite the treaty which Upham wrote about in a report (not included in this pamphlet). In these two letters contained herein, Upham writes to his friends, Abner Wood and Eugenia "Jennie" Coe who later married. These reprints were transcribed from the original manuscripts which were kept by Abner and Eugenia's daughter, Virginia Coe Wood, and then in the private collection of Mr. W. R. Coe. In these letters, Upham writes of many subjects that relate to Fort Benton and his voyage there. Among the subjects he writes about are his voyage up the Missouri River from St. Louis to Fort Benton on the steamers Twilight and Cora. The Twilight sunk when it hit a "snag" which Upham describes as a tree that has fallen from the river's soft banks. These snags were apparently a frequent hazard. The Cora was a companion ship to the Twilight (should the latter sink), so Upham and the rest of the passengers simply resumed their voyage on the Cora after the Twilight capsized. He describes the local scenery and inhabitants he saw while aboard the Cora such as the plentiful bison, some of which struck the steamer's wheels during river crossings. Upham describes the journey northward as painfully slow as technical delicacy and prowess were needed to prevent the steamer from catching on snags or becoming stuck on steep sandbars or embankments. The Cora later sank on that same journey so Upham boarded a third steamer, the Lillie Martin, to reach Fort Benton. Upham also describes the hostile relations between Indigenous tribes and white settlers. He retells stories in which warriors from Indigenous tribes, such as the Sioux and Blackfeet, attacked forts, passengers on steamers, and pioneers traveling west on foot. However, Upham also describes "friendly" Indigenous people and the time he witnessed a warrior initiation ceremony. Upham expresses general tension and unease during his time at Fort Benton due to frequent attacks between settlers and Indigenous people near the fort. Upham also writes of personal matters and refers to his current love as "Side." He writes about Side's recent decision to join a Catholic convent and the concerns she had about whether or not her friends would accept her decision. Upham concludes with asking Eugenia to have her, Abner, and Side write back to him and sending well wishes to them and Eugenia's parents.

Soft cover. Condizione: Collectible-Near Fine (Near Fi. Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. Black lettering printed on front cover. No date, circa 1931. 6 3/4" x 9 1/2." Nineteen pages, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact except for light age toning throughout and slightly bumped corne…rs. A Near Fine copy. "Sources of Northwest History No. 15." "Reprinted from the Historical Section of The Frontier, a magazine of the Northwest, published at the State University of Montana, Missoula. Vol. XI, No. 3, March, 1931." This issue contains reprinted diary entries kept by Mary Richardson Walker (1811-1897), an Oregon missionary who married fellow missionary Elkanah (also, Elkaneh) Walker (1805-1877), between June 10 and December 21, 1838. The entries contained herein were transcribed by William S. Lewis of Spokane around 1917 who had viewed the original manuscripts in the ownership of the Walkers' son, Cyrus Walker. Most of the pages have printed footnotes, some of which comprise diary entries by missionary Myra Eells (nee Fairbanks; 1805-1878), the wife of missionary Cushing Eells (1810-1893), that were written on the same day as Mary's entries. Mary writes about the her journey west to Waiilatpu, the location of the mission established by Marcus Whitman (1802-1847) and his wife, Narcissa Whitman (nee Prentiss; 1808-1847). In addition to the Eellses and Whitmans, Mary writes of other missionaries including Mr. and Mrs. William H. Gray and Henry H. Spalding (also, Spaulding; 1803-1874) and his wife, Eliza Spalding (nee Hart; 1807-1851). Mary writes about many different subjects including weather, daily routines, various state of her health, riding her horse (she rode most of the journey side-saddle), meeting Indigenous people, geologic formations, soda springs, local towns, arriving at Waiilatpu, lodging arrangements, evangelism, and the birth of Cyrus and taking care of him in his early days. Waiilatpu was the location of the Whitman Massacre, also known as the Tragedy at Waiilatpu, in which the Whitmans and eleven other settlers were killed when a group of Cayuse men attacked the settlement. The Walkers and Eellses were not at Waiilatpu when the massacre happened, and they later moved to Oregon City. Tensions between the Waiilatpu missionaries and Cayuse and Nez Perce tribes had been brewing for years. The tipping point for the Whitman Massacre was a measles outbreak which disproportionately affected Cayuse populations while white settlers remained relatively unscathed (measles and other diseases were introduced by European explorers and settlers to North America which decimated many Indigenous populations on account of the latter not having acclimated immune systems). Upon the outbreak, a group of Cayuse men were convinced that the reason for so many Cayuse succumbing to the disease was that Marcus Whitman, also a physician, was sabotaging them in some manner. The ensuing massacre leveled all of the mission buildings at Waiilatpu. Settlers then demanded that five Cayuse be punished in retribution. A group of five Cayuse men, the Cayuse Five, surrendered themselves in the hopes that it would placate the settlers. The Cayuse Five were tried and hanged for the massacre even though their guilt and court jurisdiction were not established. The Whitman Massacre was a key factor that prompted the Cayuse War.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. No date, circa 1929. 6 3/4" x 9 1/2." Twenty-two pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light to moderate age toning and slight wear to extremities. A Very Good copy. Sources of Northwest History No. 6. Part of…the "Historical Reprints" series. "Reprinted from the Historical Section of The Frontier and Midland, a magazine of the Northwest, published at The State University of Montana, Missoula. Vol. IX, No. 3, March, 1929." This historical reprint contains the manuscript written by Richard Owen Hickman during his journey west to California from Independence, Missouri in 1852. The manuscript contains diary entries Hickman kept on the trip. He eventually sent the manuscript to his stepmother, Elizabeth Hickman. The entries are organized by date and describe events that happened on the journey. Hickman describes the local scenery, the many graves he saw on the trail, a buffalo hunt gone wrong, the changes in weather, cholera outbreaks that plagued many emigrants, Courthouse Rock, Chimney Rock, Scott's Bluff, the Platte River, a Cheyenne chief who was supposedly 105 years old, disagreeable buffalo meat, how their oxen became trapped in swamp (but were later rescued), how members of the Snake (?) tribe use dogs and wolves as pack animals and how some of those wolves carried babies on their backs, trading with members from Indigenous tribes, braving snowy weather, Pyramid Valley, various soda springs, the Truckee River, Pyramid Lake, Nevada City, and Sacramento. Richard Owen Hickman (1881-?) was a well-traveled pioneer who was born in Shelby County, Kentucky. His father, William Hickman, filed a claim for government land in Illinois where the Hickman family moved to. However, Richard's mother, Mary Hickman, passed away soon after their arrival to Illinois. William then remarried and Elizabeth Hickman became Richard's stepmother. The entries in this pamphlet document Richard's travels to California in 1852 where he stayed for eleven years while he engaged in the mining business and sold miners' supplies. In 1863, Richard returned to Illinois on account of ill health. However, he ventured west multiple times again, finding himself in places such as Montana, Virginia City, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Richard eventually settled in Montana where he held several prominent positions including territorial treasurer, a member of the territorial legislative assembly, and state land agent.

Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning, slight wear to extremities, and a tiny split at tail of spine. A Very Good copy. Sources of Northwest Histo…ry No. 2. Part of the "Historical Reprints" series. "Reprinted from the Historical Section of The Frontier, a Magazine of the Northwest, published at the State University of Montana, Missoula. Vol. VIII, No. 2, March, 1928." This historical reprint contains an edited diary thought to have been kept by David or John Dinwiddie, emigrants on the Oregon Trail. H. G. Merriam notes in the Foreword, "The diary has been edited by Miss Margaret Booth, graduate student in history at the State University of Montana, under the supervision of Professor Paul C. Phillips. The original diary contains entries for every day of the journey but there are so many repetitions of purely routine activities and weather conditions that only those entries have been selected which give a picturesque account of the country and which are necessary to make the route clear." In his diary, Mr. Dinwiddie writes of his journey on the Oregon Trail from Indiana to Oregon. There are many descriptions of the natural scenery such as Chimney Rock, Independence Rock, Scott's Bluff, the Red Buttes, Platte River, Snake River, the John Day River, the Cascades, and Mt. Hood. Dinwiddie also writes of his and his party's interactions of Indigenous tribes such as the Nez Perce and Cayuse.

Barrows's narrative recounts his days traveling as an emigrant on the Overland Trail, traversing sometimes inhospitable prairie, and interacting with many of the locals including trading post employees, cowboys, and members of Indigenous tribes.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. No date, circa 1936-1937. 6 3/4" x 9 1/2." Eight pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning and slight wear to extremities. A Very Good copy. Sources of Northwest History No. 4. Part of the "Histori…cal Reprints" series. "Reprinted from the Historical Section of Frontier and Midland, a Magazine of the Northwest, published at the Montana State University, Missoula. Vol. XVII, No. 2, Winter 1936-1937." This historical reprint contains the reminisces of two women pioneers and Mormon emigrants, Bertha Marie Eccles and Elizabeth Peery, who settled in Ogden, Utah. These interviews were overseen by Maurice Howe, director of writers' projects under the Utah Works Progress Administration (WPA). Eccles (nee Jensen) was born in 1857 in Aarhuse, Denmark. She recounts many episodes from her journey to Utah. She describes her transatlantic voyage with her parents from Denmark to New York in 1867 and traveling by train to St. Joseph, Missouri and from Omaha to North Platte, Nebraska. From there, her family waited for their outfits to arrive and then they proceeded to join a large emigrant train led by Captain Leonard G. Rice. She recalls being put in charge of feeding bread to a toothless brindle ox her father had been swindled into buying. She also recollects a frightening incident in which she and a few others got separated from their wagon team when the men had set down to repair the wagon but they continued marching forward. They eventually found respite from their thirst when they happened upon another traveler's camp. Eccles also describes some biographical details about her husband, David. David Eccles served as Ogden's mayor and was a leading industrialist of Ogden. Elizabeth Peery (nee Higginbotham) was born in 1846 in Nauvoo, Illiniois. She says her parents moved back to their home state of Virginia after being persecuted in Illinois for being Mormon. However, Peery describes how she and her family fled Virginia and traveled west again after Northern soldiers arrived during the Civil War. She recounts the early stages of her journey to Utah and how there were disagreements about who to elect as captain of the group. However, her family's choice of captain was eventually elected and he proved to be very capable. Peery describes how her experiences as a pioneer were relatively comfortable. At one point, she likened her journey to being on a picnic. Peery also recounts how her party was pursued by members of the Sioux tribe in the Black Hills after one of the men in their group mistakenly joked about selling one of the pioneer girls to them. The Sioux were angered when they realized the party would not follow through with a trade (they offered two ponies for the girl), so they sent a war party in retaliation. The pioneers happened upon the Arapahoe tribe, who, at the time, were at war with the Sioux. After describing their dilemma, the Araphoe sided with the pioneers and went after the Sioux party who were chasing after them. Peery also recounts seeing the names of countless pioneers and other travelers etched into Independence Rock and other geographical features on her journey. Peery eventually reached Salt Lake City and moved to Provo before settling in Ogden. She briefly describes some of the life of her husband, David Peery. David also served as one of Ogden's mayors.
