Missoula Pioneer Dickinson Fought Sioux at Fort Peck
W. H. Dickinson, early Missoula postmaster and first Bitter Root photographer, is celebrated for a Sioux encounter near Fort Peck in 1869. He killed a warrior in a snap shot, escaped on a horse he toppled, and rode into the fort bloodied, later scalping the foe. He opened western Montana’s first photo gallery in Missoula in 1870 and served as postmaster for 14 years before a career in real estate and mining.
