| 説明 | GRAVE OF SACAJAWEAShoshone Indian Woman Who Servedas Guide for Lewis and Clark'Lander, (Wyo.) Cor. New York Sun. Although the management of the Portland exposition has raised a monument at Portland, Or., to the memory of the Shoshone Indian woman, Sacajawea, who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition on Us travel through the northwest a century ago, her bones lie In the old mission cemetery at the Shoshone reservation north of this place. By the side of the woman are burled her two sons, Basil and Baptiste, who are both spoken of in the letters of Gen. Clark.From old-time residents of the reservation Information has been obtained which indicates that the grave is the resting place of the Indian girl who saved the Lewis and Clark expedition and guided the Americans on the Journey to the Pacific. The Union Pacific railroad Is making arrangements to disinter the body and move It to Portland, where It will be buried In some conspicuous spot. The grave is entirely unmarked, and but for the records In the books of the old Episcopal mission might have been forgotten.There Is said to be no doubt of the authenticity of the grave. Maj. Baldwin, when in command of Fort Bridger, Wyo., made a trip of exploration to the Lander valley, his guide being the Shoshone Indian, Old Basil. The latter told Baldwin of the Journey of his mother, Sacajawea, with Lewis and Clark.At that time Sacajawea was living with the members of her tribe in central Wyoming. Dr. James Irwin, the first agent Bent to the Shoshones after the reservation was made, saw the old Indian woman and heard her story from her own lips.When the Shoshones settled on their present reservation Old Basil and his mother took up their abode at the agency, and there Sacajawea, no longer a copper-colored beauty, but an old woman, bowed and decrepit with age, died or. April 9, 1884, having lived almost a century. She was burled in the Indian cemetery near the Episcopal mission.Basil and Baptiste, who were mentioned by Gen. Clark in his letters, died soon after their mother and were also buried in the same cemetery. |
