' v ip? hlltlc i X 'if Q, Q President Jefferson heaved a sigh of relief as he wrote the instructions for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Lewis and Clark were to explore the Missouri and tributaries, cross the Rockies and follow some river to the Pacific. Thence they would return via the same route with a concise record ' h h d 'tarted the project, of all observations. The president remembered that seventeen years ago e a s and after all these years had finally succeeded. ' ' f Sacajawea, the Bird Woman was an important factor upon which the ultimate success o the expedition depended. She saved the Pale Faces from Indian treachery and guided them through an unknown mountain pass. A statue in Washington reminds us of her. John Colter, the first American to enter Wyoming, left Lewis and Clark at Fort Mandan. From ' ' W oming. that time on he became identified with that part of the country which afterwards became y No braver man ever entered the Rocky Mountain country. All that is known of his early life is that he was a famous hunter and woodsman before joining the expedition. Nothing is to be learned of his education, but the chances are that like most hunters of his day, he was unlettered. Among the most noted fur traders and trappers of the day was Captain Bonneville who left Fort Osage with an expedition of twenty wagons and one hundred and ten men for the rendezvous on Green River. He encountered many hardships but trapped a goodly amount of fur and returned to the states in 1835. Mt. Bonneville is his memoir. No one knew the geography of the country as thoroughly as did Jim Bridger, famous guide. He was acquainted with every valley and peak in all the Rockies. He possessed little of education which is obtained from books. He died in 1881. Fort Bridger and Bridger Pass are his monuments. The opening of the first highway, the Oregon Trail came about between 1835 and 1843. The missionaries Parker and Whitman followed the valleys of the Platte and Sweetwater and reached Green River. Here Parker waited while Whitman returned to the states and came back with Spald- ing and two ladies. their brides, thence to Oregon with Parker. There the missionary work was begun. The exploring expedition of John C. Fremont was an important event in our early history. He charmed the public with his written reports published by the government in 1845. The cloud of mys- tery which had covered mountain and plain in Wyoming was cleared away by this intrepid explorer and Wyoming was given its proper place on the map of the west. 14 ,.- ,.

A few years before the opening of this story, an angel had entrusted to Smith, cer- tain records concerning a church which he should establish. As a result the Mormon Church came into existence with Joseph Smith at its head. As you know, Mormons could have all the wives they wanted, and there seldom was a Mormon over twenty years of age who did not have more than one wife. Joseph Smith who was no exception had twelve wives, but at the time of the opening of this story he had but ten. The most beautiful of these wives were Helen, Emily, Eliza, Hannah and Flora Ann, but the favorite was Ruth the youngest of the ten. The other four, Mary Elizabeth, Olive, Rhoda and Sylvia were the oldest ones and did the cooking and housekeeping. . One day in the early spring, Smith was wandering around his little village, when he decided he would walk out into the country. When he was just outside of the little village he saw someone walking toward him, and it looked to him very much like a girl. When they met it was a case of love at first sight for both. The girl, Elvira Cowles, was about eighteen years old, and very beauti- ful. But Smith was not so hard to look at either: because, even if he was middle aged he was quite handsome and a man whom any woman would be proud of. What are you doing here, my beautiful girl he asked. My mother and father were killed by Indians two days ago, she said sobbing. And I tried to go on to Emmetsburgh but I got lost. Then I saw your little village and thought I could-get help here. My dear, do not be afraid. Come with me to my wives and they will take care of you. The women treated her kindly and one day Smith asked her to be his wife. At first she re- sented the idea because he was a Mormon and had ten wives already, but when he explained his re- ligion to her and told her how he loved her, she finally consented. They were married a few days later and she was his favorite all her life. 16 ,. we--, ,,.4 .
