FINAL SCENE
After the successful charge Colonel Morrison sent an officer to report
that General Stevens had fallen, and that the enemy had been driven
back. General Reno, to whom the report was made, returned orders to bury
General Stevens on the field, and to fall back. The Highlanders
reverently and tenderly bore away the body of their beloved commander
and placed it in an ambulance, from which one of their number, although
wounded, willingly alighted to give room. The remains were taken to
Washington to the house of his dear friend, John L. Hayes, and thence to
Newport, R.I.
General Reno's apparently unfeeling order excited great indignation
among the Highlanders.
At the very moment of his heroic death General Stevens was being
considered by the President and his advisers as commander of the armies
in Virginia. Mr. Hayes was assured of the fact by a member of the
cabinet, and it was currently stated in the press. Certain it is that
ignoble personal rivalries and jealousies could not have kept him down
much longer.
He was appointed and confirmed a major-general, to rank from July 4,
1862.
He was only forty-four years, five months, and seven days of age when he
fell.
The stern old Puritan Abolitionist, his aged father, died August 22,
only ten days previous. He frequently declared that he should never see
Isaac again, that he knew his spirit too well, that he would surely be
killed in battle, and it was thought that brooding over this idea
hastened his own death.
General Stevens was buried in the Island Cemetery in Newport. The
obsequies were attended by Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, and
Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, Professor Bache and officers of the
Coast Survey, the mayor and council of Newport and other dignitaries,
and a large military escort. The city of Newport erected beside his
grave a massive granite obelisk, bearing the following simple and
appropriate inscription, composed by his brother-in-law, the Rev.
Charles T. Brooks:
IN MEMORY OF
MAJOR-GENERAL ISAAC INGALLS STEVENS,
BORN IN ANDOVER, MASS.,
MARCH 25, 1818,
WHO GAVE TO THE SERVICE OF HIS COUNTRY
A QUICK AND COMPREHENSIVE MIND,
A WARM AND GENEROUS HEART,
A FIRM WILL AND A STRONG ARM,
AND WHO FELL WHILE RALLYING HIS COMMAND
WITH THE FLAG OF THE REPUBLIC IN HIS DYING GRASP,
AT THE BATTLE OF CHANTILLY, VA.,
SEPTEMBER 1, 1862.
THIS MONUMENT
IS ERECTED AS A TOKEN OF
ADMIRING GRATITUDE
BY THE
CITY OF NEWPORT.
When the Highlanders were mustered out of service, the flag under whose
folds General Stevens fell was sent to his widow, with the following
letter from the brave Colonel Morrison:--
NEW YORK, September 22, 1864.
Mrs. ISAAC I. STEVENS.
_Dear Madam_,--I have the honor to transmit to you the colors of the
79th Highlanders, the same that were in the hand of your late
lamented husband when he received his wound. Since I knew that you
wished to have them in your possession I have watched them with a
jealous eye through many stormy fields. Although but a rag, many a
brave man would have sacrificed his life rather than anything
dishonorable should happen them. From Chantilly to Blue Springs,
wherever they were unfurled, victory has perched upon them, and
when, torn and tattered, we exchanged them for a new set, I have
carried them about with me, and I assure you it gives me great
pleasure in sending them to you, so that you may preserve them as an
heirloom in your family. Serving immediately under General Stevens,
no one had a better opportunity of knowing him than myself. Well may
you feel proud of him! His nobleness of heart, his firm devotion to
his country, his untiring energy, his unflinching bravery, have
endeared him to all those who have served under him. His memory is
engraven on the hearts of every one of his Highlanders, and the few
of us that are left often speak of the many acts of kindness
bestowed on us by "Our General."
I am, madam, your obedient servant,
D. MORRISON,
_Late Colonel 79th Highlanders_.
The legislature of Rhode Island passed resolutions upon the death of
General Stevens, and offered to provide a fit resting-place for his
ashes. The city of Newport, the officers of the Coast Survey, and many
other public bodies paid fitting tribute by resolutions. "When the
intelligence of his death reached Washington Territory, the grief of all
classes was sincere and profound. Nothing could any one recall that was
base or dishonorable, but much that was lofty and manly in the dead
hero. The legislature passed resolutions in his honor, and ordered crape
to be worn."[22] For many years the successive governors and
legislatures regularly paid tribute to his memory.
He fell--that glowing eye
In sudden night was quenched;
But still the flag he lifted high,
And onward bore to victory,
In his dead hand was clenched.
He sank--but o'er his head
The drooping ensign fell,
As if its folds it fondly spread
Above the forehead, pale and dead,
Of him who loved it well.
He sleeps--unlock that clasp!
The hero's work is done!
Another hand that staff shall grasp,
And, if need be, till life's last gasp,
Like him shall bear it on.
He rests--the true and brave!
And where his relics lie,
In holier beauty long shall wave,
Fit canopy for freeman's grave,
God's starry flag on high.
He lives--his deeds inspire
New strength for duty's strife:
Now myriads burn with nobler fire
Onward to press--to mount up higher
And win the eternal life.[23]

NOTES OF THE INDIANS OF THE TERRITORY OF NEBRASKA BETWEEN THE ROCKY
MOUNTAINS AND MOUTH OF THE YELLOWSTONE.
The Blackfoot Nation are in four tribes, viz., Piegans, Bloods,
Blackfeet, Gros Ventres, and number 11,500 souls.
The map shows the hunting-grounds, secured exclusively to the Blackfeet
in the treaty, at the mouth of the Judith, concluded October 17, 1855;
the hunting-ground common to the Blackfeet and Western Indians, the
Blackfeet and Assiniboines; the western and southern boundaries of the
Assiniboine country; and the western boundary of the Crow country.
The Western Indians, Flatheads, Pend Oreilles, and a portion of the
Kootenays, generally make two hunts a year east of the Rocky Mountains,
and they depend for their lodges, parfleches, apechinos, and much of
their meat upon these hunts. They get some of their supplies by trade
with the Blackfeet. The Indians of the western tribes, as the Spokanes
and Coeur d'Alenes, "go to buffalo," but not in as large numbers or
with as much regularity as the preceding.
The Nez Perces generally have a large camp--over one hundred
lodges--either on the common hunting-grounds or in the Crow country.
Their hunters always pass one winter, and sometimes two winters, in
succession, east of the mountains before they return to their own
country.

Transcriber's note:
Some compound words (e.g., 'wagon-master') appeared both with and
without a hyphen. They are given as printed. Where a word is hyphenated
on a line break, the hyphen is retained if the preponderance of other
appearances indicate it was intended. Index entries tend not to
hyphenate words that are unhyphenated in the text. All variants
were retained.
Illlustrations cannot be reproduced here, but the approximate position
of each is indicated as: [Illustration: <caption>].
Footnotes are repositioned at the end of each chapter. They have been
re-numbered consecutively.
The word 'coöperate' is consistently printed with the diaeresis on the
second syllable's opening 'o'. On p. 181, the word fell on a line break,
and was hyphenated without the diaeresis. The 'ö' has been restored for
consistency.
The total for the second table on p. 381 appears incorrectly as 16,988.
The figures, as printed, add to 17,009.
On p. 401, the word 'premptorily', apparently an error for
'peremptorily' appears in a quoted passage, and is merely noted here.
Neither of the versions of 'Quinault' in the table on p. 504 agrees
with the modern spelling. To be consistent, the second instance was
changed to agree with the first, 'Quinaiult'.
Index
There were several errors discovered in the index, which refers to
both volumes. On occasion, the volume numbers 'i' or 'ii' are missing
or incorrect. These errata are included in the table below.
While these errors are corrected, no systematic attempt
was made to check all entries.
The entry for 'Daufuskie Island' was misprinted as 'Danfuskie', and
attributed to the wrong page (p. 282 rather than p. 382). It should
have followed the entry for 'Danpher', just below it.
Minor punctuation lapses were silently corrected.

were corrected.
