Willard Intermediate High School, Berkeley VOL. VI. MAY, 1919 NO. 1 Chilsipee, the Rocky Mountain Maiden The clouds had passed by; the storm had ceased. It was after the fierce battle with the Blackfeet In- dians on the Yellowstone River, in 1834, that Kit Carson and his party of beaver trappers rejoiced and made merry over their victory. Meanwhile, some of the trappers proceeded to search among the bushes in order to discover how many In- dians were killed and if there were any living. Rose, one of the trap- pers, was aiding in the search. To his surprise and bewilderment he perceived, hidden in a clump of pine bushes, an Indian maiden. She had covered herself wit h branches and leaves, and had probably been left by the Indians in their retreat, as their village was not more than a hundred yards away from the battle- field. It was soon discovered that her leg was much swollen and that she was suffering with intense pain occasioned by a shot from a rifle ball; but she bore it with bravery and heroism peculiar to the Indian race. Her wounds were dressed as care- fully, if not as skilfully, as a phy- sician would have cared for them, and, although it was at first supposed that she would die, she began slowly to recover. She was soon the pet of these rough but tender-hearted trappers, who did all they could to amuse their little patient, whom they had saved from a terrible death.

Their clothes were sadly worn and, as Chilsipee was very in- dustrious, she was kept busy mending and patching for the whole company. So this little maiden lived and thrived, helping the trappers in every way possible and more and more winning the hearts of every one of them. Just before leaving Snake River, Rose purchased a fine horse, the best one in the company, which Chilsipee chose as her favorite riding animal. When she wanted a horse to ride it was only necessary for her to express her desire and it was granted, for no one thought of refusing her. In the coming spring there was to be a rendezvous and all of the camp were making preparations for it. Chilsipee had been busy all winter preparing for this great occasion. Soon the day arrived. Chilsipee was in the height of her glory. She was using Rose ' s horse, which was beautifully ornamented. There was a broad leathern belt a foot wide stretching from the saddle across its breast, and this was covered with red cloth embroidered in stars and other emblems, the whole being
