Portrait of Elliott Coues, pr-onit's^iece VOLUME in. Three Sections, and Legend Sheet, Traced from David Thompson's MS. Map of the Northwest Territory, . In pocket INDEX. \ N. B. — This index covers all the matter of the two preceding volumes, both of main text and notes thereto. It is mainly an index of names, proper and common, without analysis of what comes under them. All proper names are intended to be indexed in every place where they occur, excepting the author's name. " N. W. Co." is indexed wherever it happens to appear, though the whole work relates to the North West Company. Of common names the list is quite full, though it is exclu- sive, as a rule, of mere mention or allusion. Proper are distinguished from common names by capitals, the same as they would be it occur- ring in ordinarv sentences. The arrangement of the entries is intended to be strictly alphabetical, without regard to the logical order in which phrases or phrase-names would follow one another ; thus, Albert, Jo- seph, comes after Alberta, and before Alberton, Ont. Contractions and abbreviations are alphabetized as if they were spelled uut ; thus, pt. for "point" precedes p. for "portage." Place-names which are phrases are entered as usually spoken or written ; thus. Lake Superior under Lake, but Moose 1. under Moose ; Fort Dauphin, but Uauphin r. ; though many such are also entered both ways, with cross-references. Alternative and variant names of the same thing of course appear ; as Lac k la Pluie, Lac la Pluie, Rainy 1., for the one body of water. Besides subserving th usual purpose, this index has been utilized for the purpose of intrc^ucmg a comparatively large amount of new mat- ter, representing many memoranda which I had made for use in my notes, but which the author's text did not happen to bring up in any connection. Most of these additional entries are biographical items of voyageurs and others of the N. W. Co. ; they commonly end with a date, looking at first sight like a reference to a page ; but this will occasion no uncertainty, as the pagination of the text does not reach four figures. The sans/afon style of writing French personal names, which may or may not begin with a preposition or with the definite article, makes it impossible to observe any rule in such cases ; these names must be en- tered as they are found — for example, such as De La Fayette, La Fayette, or Fayette, are all liable to appear. Usual abbreviations or contractions for names of States and Terri- tories of the United States, of Provinces or Districts of the Dominion of Canada, of civic, military, and ecclesiastical titles, etc. Also, the following : br., branch (of a stream or railroad); chf., (Indian) chief; co., county; cr., creek; dept., department; ho., house ; H. B. Co., Hudson's Bay Company; Ind., Indian; interp., interpreter ; isl., island; Kam.,Kam- inistiquia ; Idg. , landing; Mt., mt., Mount, mountain; N. W. Co., North West Company ; p., portage ; pra., prairie ; pt., point (of land); r., river; rap., rapid or rapids ; res. (Indian) reservation in the U. S., reserve in the Dominion of Canada; R. R., Ry., railroad, railway; Sask., Saskatchewan; St., Ste., Saint, Sainte ; trib., tributary (l&ke or river); vill., village ; voy., voyageur ; voy. c.-m., voyageur contre- maitre. Any abbrev. or contr. may take s for the plural. 9»7 9i8 INDEX.

After his dis- charge from the Lewis and Clark expedition he stayed in the country winter ot 1806. and in the spring of 1807 started down the Missouri for St. Louis ; at the Platte met Manuel de Lisa, and returned with him up the Missouri and Yellowstone to Bighorn r. Here Lisa made a post, and sent Colter en derouine among the Crows. Colter's "route of 1807" in Yellow- stone Park, etc.. was on this tour, during which Colter and Crow inds, had a fight with Blackfeet. It was next year. 1808, on the Jefferson r., that Colter had his historic race for life, after hi^ companion. Potts, had been killed. In 1808, also, Lisa returned to St. Louis to form the Mo. R, Fur Co. In June, 1809, An- drew Henry went out and built the fort at Three Forks of the Missouri. Early in 1810 several of Lisa's men returned to St. Louis.

His first journey, from Prince of Wales fort and return, Nov. 6th-Dec. nth, 1769, was a failure from desertion of his Indians under Chawchinahaw. His only two white men were Wm. Isbester and Thomas Merriman. Second journey : Left P. of W. fort Feb. 23d, 1770, with three Northern and two Southern Inds., and no whites ; proceeded to Aug. 1 2th, about 63" 10', broke quad- rant, and decided to return. Reached the fort Nov. 25th, 1770, after a fruitless journey of 8 months and 22 days. Third journey : Left the fort Dec. 7th, 1770, with the guide Matonabbe ; reached Copper Mine r. July 13th, 1771, at a place where it was 180 yards wide, shoal, with three falls in sight ; his Inds. massacred a party of Eskimo, July i6th, in sight of the sea, 8 m. dis- tance, morning of the 17th, and reached it that day ; no sunset ; took possession of the coast on behalf of the H.

The word is Algonquin for "Great Turtle"; it was applied to the gjcnius loci of the isl., to the hill which the turtle-god was supposed to in- habit, to the island on which this aboriginal Olympus stood, and the post on the S. side of the strait, built by orders ©f the Governor-General o£ Can- ada. This was almost en- tirely destroyed by fire Dec. 22d, 1762, but had been largely restored when the massacre of June 4th. 1763, occurred ^see next). The place was talcen July 17th, 1812 ; news of the capture to Fort William per ship Invincible Aug. 2d, 18 12 Michilimackinac massacre, 234, 867. The widely discrepant statements, both of the strength of the garrison and of the total casualties, have never been satisfactorily ex- plained. The accounts range between about 90 soldiers, 4 traders, 300 Canadians, pres- ent, of whom about 70 soldiers and I trader were killed, to about 35 soldiers, 39 or 40 total .English, of whom 17 soldier} and i trader, and later 5 more soldiers, were killed. The wide discrepancy between "70" and " 17'* may possibly be due to similarity of the words " seventeen "and " seventy," or mistranslation of the French "dix-sept." The officers were : Major Ether- ington, in command ; Lieut. Lesslie ; Lieut. Jean jemette or John Jamet ; the latter killed, the others spared. The civilian traders present were : A. Henry, sen., who vividly narrates the tragedy in his Travels, etc., 1809, p. 76 se^., and assigns the high figures to the casualties ; Ezckiel Solomon ; Mr. Bostwick ; Mr. Tracy (killed) ; and there seems to have been a fifth, an Englishman from Detroit. Among the many Canadians present, all of whom the Inds. spared, were C. M. Langlade and a Jesuit missionary, the latter supposed to be the Pere Pierre Luc de Jaunay who bore Etherington's letter of Tune i2th to Major Gladwin at Detroit, being gone on this journey June 2oth-3oth Michipicoten, Michipicotton, 188, 199, 241, 283, 284; island also known as Isle de Maurepas ; French trading-post on main- land " old " in 1767 Micropterus dolmieu, 445 Middle Bear, a chf., 625, 655, 657, 659, 660 Middle cr., br. of Assiniboine r., 294 Middle cr., br. of Sask. r., 560, 602 Middle fork of Park r., 90, 93, 94, 95 Middle p., 218 Middle r. , 294 Midway cr., 488 Miette r., 642 Migneron, Louis, voy.

They traded with him for as many of them as his canoes could carry, and in consequence of this transac- tion the portage received and has since retained its present appellation. He also denom- inated these waters the Eng- lish River. The Missinipi is the name it received from the Knisteneaux, when they first came to this country, and either destroyed or drove back the natives, whom they held in great contempt, on many accounts, but particularly for their ignorance in hunting the beaver, as well as in pre- paring, stretching, and drying the skins of those animals. And as a sign of their de- rision, they stretched the skin of a frog, and hune it up at the portage." — McKenzie, p.
