one must master a bit of geography.
The Powder river rises in northern j
Wyoming i nd crosses the Montana j
line near Graham, in the newly-creat
ed Powder River Country, to pass |
through that country, Custer and |
Prairie, in which it flows into the Yel
lowstone river, between Blatchfo**d
and Kurnm. “Powder River, a mdc ,
wide and an ir.-ch deep" was the battle
cry of the puncher— and abbreviated,
a.' above it became the battle cry of
the Montana soldier in the great war.
In the days when the west was the
west and <he puncher reigned supreme
cowboys were migratory. There we»\*
few who did not know the Powder riv
er . It is the cowman’s ideal of a
stream.
It is nowhere a mile wide, of course,
except in flood; and it is every where
more than an inch deep— tohugh *t
does 'sometimes threaten to dry up al
together. in torrid seasons. Rut it
sluggish wide and .^hallow. Here cattle
max xvinter in it without peril. Sxvit*.
deep rivers means loss of stock and
consequent worry to punchers.
It xvun. moreover, a landmark— o ‘
.» water mark, perhaps it should bo
tailed. Flowing through the great
stretch of plateau prairie in northern
Wyoming and southern Montana, *l
could he seen from any low Butte, for
a long distance. The weary puncher
x.ho had lost his xvay after m long da/
in the saddle, after strays could lop 1
up a hill and locate himself by its wa
ters.
Whatever the cause the cowman as
a class knew and loved the Poxvder
i v r. Those were rough days, Skir
mishes and pitched battle hetxveen th**
• ow outfits were common. Gradually
the .Montana puncher began to adopt
•‘Powder Rive», l.et Vr Ruck!” as his
ciy.
The c:y entered politics. The east*
ern. the ooxv” counties, began to use
the cry at political meetings and ra1
lies. Then came the Spanish war an I
Montana sent a due p«*r cent of punch*
- into Roosevelt’s Rough Riders.
When t!ie Second Montana was or
ganized . the eastern counties piled in.
They made “Powder” the battle-cry
of the unit, xvith unanimous consent.
They saw some service in the *‘Mo
Donal Rebellion,” in Rutte, in 1814.
Rater they went to the Mexican bord
• r, where Pershing observed them and
saw that they were good.
Then the great xvar. The Second
<*n** of the first regiments called, be
came the 163rd United States in
fantry. “Poxxder River a Mile Wid'
and an Inch Deep. Ret ’cr Buck!’* xvxs
painted on their regimental band. It
was the official war cry.
As a unit, the l.vtth never entered
a battle. When it rearh«*d France
IVi 'hing distributed the nten among
the First and Second divisions to f.'U '
the gaps in tegular regiments.
From Cntigny to Sean, men of th.•
outfit tought and “Powder River” was
heard in every battle.
It was the drafted men that gave
the cry to the Ninety-first division.
They took it to Camp Lewis with
them and there, the cry caught the
fancy of the California, Oregan and
Washington men with whom thev
were brigaded and was adopted with
enthusiasm.
The Germans heard the cry on the
Argonne and in Belgium and the
Ninety-first came hark with a reputa
tion second to none.
