Note 52 — Chapter XXIV · LA BARGE AGAIN IN OPPOSITION.
Reading edition
“The Spread Eagle is just along side of us and we are having a race, probably the first ever run on the upper Missouri. She passed us and then we passed her, when she ran into us, breaking our guard and doing some other damage. There was a good deal of angry talk.”—Harkness’ Journal. (This journal of the voyage of 1862 and of Harkness’ trip to the mines and his return to St. Louis is published in the Proceedings of the Montana Historical Society, vol. ii.)
