THE territory of Dakota came into existence in 1861. This great Indian domain received here and there wandering French-Canadian trappers or traders, who married Sioux maidens, and dwelt among the wigwams. After Lewis and Clark's exploring expedition ascended the Missouri, in 1804-6, the many fur companies pushed their pioneer posts up the river. In 1830-32 the steamboats "Yellowstone" and "Assinniboine" ascended the stream, the pioneers of a vast company. In 1851 the Indians signed the treaty of Traverse des Sioux, ceding to the United States the territory between the Minnesota line and the Big Sioux River. This grant was followed by subsequent concessions. The first settlement was established at Sioux Falls in 1857. The people were driven out several times by the Indians, but as often returned. Unceasing trouble with the natives culminated in 1862 in the Sioux war, when the frontiers were ravaged for hundreds of miles, and all the Dakota settlers fled to Yankton. After the savages were thoroughly subdued, and United States garrisons studded the country, a great flood of immigration poured into the Territory, whose amazing crops of grain speedily astonished the Western world.
