Told by the Pioneers The Indians didn't attack but tried to get in the wagon and became very familiar. 'Vhen about half way in the wagon, father became very angry and got his ox whip and made the Indian bleed, he hit him so hard. Afterwards he thought he had been too hasty but the Indians didn't fight back and they rode off. These were the Sioux Indians and they v,ere very fine looking. The Indians in 1852 were very bad as they thought the people were going to take the country and fear made them dangerous. Father crossed Naches Pass in 1853. 'Vhen he had written to his brothers in Iowa thev were verv much . .' surprised to learn he was still living. They thought he had been killed bv the Indians. • PATTISON WRITES HIS BROTHER Dear Hugh I send you a few lines hoping they will find you enjoying the blessings of health as the (this) leaves us at present we were all to.

I had a letter from Uncle Robert Ross he heard from William he is a criple going on crutches and lives in a little house of ~Ir. ·Wilsons. uncle says we ought to help him. Allen and me will try to send him some by neaxt fall. Robert is not able. if you think fit to cast in your mite send me an order on Robert specifying the amount and I will send it all together, we have a railroad finished from Burlington to within ten miles of Fairefield laid out through fairefield to Counsel Bluffs When it is finished we will have better markets and more cash. we have had a mild winter I think over and if so there is a good prospect of fall wheat and frute, we are getting a good maney seeds from the 192

GESERAL JlcDOTYELL AXD CHIEF BOSAPARTE Taken f1'om Morse's Jlonthly Jfa,qazil1e Published at Snohomish City, Washington Territory 1883 A number of years ago when General :JIcDowell was making a tour of inspection around the Sound, he visited most of the Indian reservations. On his visit to the Tulalip Resen'atioJl, ill Snohomish county, S. D. Howe, the agent, sent for the chiefs and head men, then on the reservation, to come to the agent's quarters, as there was a big soldier man, a hyas tyee among the soldiers, who had just arrived from Washington and wished to have a talk with them. Among the chiefs was one who considered himself to be of much importance. His Siwash name was \:Vllon-a-per; but he was called by the whites, Bonaparte. This old chief dressed himself, as he considered, in a manner becoming his rank, and presented himself at the agent's quarters in his magnificent uniform; consisting of a pair of black pants, a British red 193
