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 WestCompany. 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 if occur-
ring in ordinary 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 andabbreviations are alphabetized as if they were spelled out ; 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 Dauphin 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 a la Pluie, Lac la Pluie, Rainy 1., for the one body of water.
Besides subserving the usual purpose, this index has been utilized for
the purpose of introducing a comparatively large amount of new mat-
ter, representing many memoranda which I had made for use in mynotes, but which the author's text did not happen to bring up in anyconnection. 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 sansfagojt 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, LaFayette, 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 Dominionof Canada, of civic, military, and ecclesiastical titles, etc. Also, the

charge from the Lewis andClark expedition he stayed inthe country winter of 1806,and in the spring of 1807started down the Missouri forSt. Louis ; at the Platte metManuel de Lisa, and returnedwith him up the Missouri andYellowstone to Bighorn r.
Here Lisa made a post, andsent Colter en derouineamong the Crows. Colter's"route of 1807" in Yellow-stone Park, etc., was on thistour, during which Colter andCrow Inds. had a fight withBlackfeet. It was next year,1808, on the Jefferson r., thatColter had his historic racefor life, after his companion.Potts, had been killed. In1808, also, Lisa returned toSt. Louis to form the Mo. R.Fur Co. In June, 1809, An-drew Henry went out andbuilt the fort at Three Forksof the Missouri. Early in 1810several of Lisa's men returnedto St. Louis, Colter, no doubt,among them, as we next hearof him there, when the over-land Astorians were outfitting.

first journey, from Prince of
Wales fort and return, Nov.6th-Dec. nth, 1769, was afailure from desertion of his
Indians under Chawchinahaw.His only two white men wereWm. Isbester and ThomasMerriman. Second journey
:
Left P. of W. fort Feb. 23d,
1770, with three Northern andtwo Southern Inds., and nowhites ;
proceeded to Aug.12th, about 63° 10', broke quad-rant, and decided to return.
Reached the fort Nov. 25th,
1770, after a fruitless journeyof 8 months and 22 days.
Third journey : Left the fort
Dec. 7th, 1770, v/ith the guideMatonabbe ; reached CopperMine r. July 13th, 1771, at aplace where it was 180 yardswide, 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 ; nosunset ; took possession ofthe coast on behalf of the H.B. Co. , and started back July18th ; reached P. of W. fort
June 30th, 1772, after 18
months' and 23 days' absence.Hearne was thus the first
white man who ever traversedthe Barren Grounds, lately
exploited by Warburton Pike,Caspar Whitney, and others.
Regarding the question whichsome have raised of his found-ing Cumberland Ho., his
own statements are (I cite 2ded., 8vo, Dublin, 1796): "In thespring of the year 1775, whenI was building CumberlandHouse," p. 34. "An inlandsettlement that I establishedfor the Hudson's Bay Com-pany in the year 1774," p. 266." When I was at CumberlandHouse, in the Fall of 1774,"
p. 378. " In the Fall of 1774,when I first settled at Cum-berland House," p. 435. Hesays, p. 436, that his " crew. . . consisted only of eightEnglishmen and two of thehome Indians from YorkFort," and that " CumberlandHouse was the first inlandsettlement the [H. B.] com-pany made."

Isthmus of Darien, 814Itasca CO., Minn., 20, 21, is badly
named, for Lake Itasca is notin it, and an erroneous impres-sion is thus conveyed regard-ing the source of the Missis-

islators in 1849, when eventhe Rev. E. D. Neill, thenfresh from his Illinois min-istry, had not acquired theinformation he subsequentlypossessed, or at any rate
did not use his influence
to prevent a misnomer.The credit of fixing appropri-ate names of six or eight Min-nesota counties is mainly dueto the late Mr. A. J. Hill of
St. Paul, who once wrote methat he should always regretthat he was not so successfulin this case

habit, to the island on whichthis aboriginal Olympus stood,and the post on the S. sideof the strait, built by orders ofthe Governor-General of Can-ada. This was almost en-tirely destroyed by fire Dec.22d, 1762, but had been largelyrestored when the massacre of

Michilimackinac massacre, 234,867. The widely discrepantstatements, both of thestrength of the garrison andof the total casualties, havenever been satisfactorily ex-plained. The accounts rangebetween about 90 soldiers, 4traders, 300 Canadians, pres-ent, of whom about 70 soldiersand I trader were killed, toabout 35 soldiers, 39 or 40
total English, of whom 17soldiers and i trader, andlater 5 more soldiers, werekilled. The wide discrepancybetween " 70 " and " 17 " maypossibly be due to similarityof the words " seventeen "and" seventy," or mistranslationof the French "dix-sept." Theofficers were : Major Ether-ington, in command ; Lieut.Lesslie ; Lieut. Jean Jemetteor John Jamet ; the latterkilled, the others spared. Thecivilian traders present were :
A. Henrys sen., who vividlynarrates the tragedy in hisTravels, etc., 1809, p. 76 seq.,
and assigns the high figuresto the casualties ; EzekielSolomon ; Mr. Bostwick ; Mr.Tracy (killed) ; and thereseems to have been a fifth, anEnglishman from Detroit.Among the many Canadianspresent, all of whom the Inds.spared, were C, M.

Portage des Trembles, 505Portage de Traite, 472, " or, as it
is called by the Indians, Ath-iquisipichigan Ouinigam, orthe Portage of the StretchedFrog-Skin, . . . received its
name from Mr. Joseph Frob-isher, who penetrated intothis part of the country from
Canada, as early as the years1774 and 1775, where he metwith the Indians in the spring,on their way to Churchill, ac-cording to annual custom,with their canoes full of val-uable furs. They traded withhim for as many of them ashis canoes could carry, and inconsequence of this transac-tion the portage received andhas since retained its presentappellation. He also denom-inated these waters the Eng-lish River. The Missinipi is
the name it received from theKnisteneaux, when they first
came to this country, andeither destroyed or drove backthe natives, whom they heldin great contempt, on manyaccounts, but particularly fortheir ignorance in hunting thebeaver, as well as in pre-paring, stretching, and dryingthe skins of those animals.And as a sign of their de-rision, they stretched the skinof a frog, and hung it up atthe portage."—McKenzie, p.Ixxv

their cleanliness and ugli-
ness, and that the word is
used in Canadian French asequivalent to "ugly," e. g.," elle est laide comme unPichou "
