| Benton, Montana, known as Fort Mackenzie. In 1833 it was |
| visited by the famous German traveler, Maximilian, Prince of |
| Wied, accompanied by the artist, Charles Bodmer. Maximilian |
| gives us an interesting and detailed account of his travels |
| in the Missouri country and is the first to give us good |
| information as to the culture of the Blackfoot. See his |

| Half-white-house is the same, and the rites and songs very |
| similar. |

| outcome of the fear is also tenable. |
