here.In the spring of 1831 Paul Narcelle,with about half of tlie company, were sent up the Missouri river to the Yellowstone, then to the mount tins. This expedition was continued to Arizona and New Mexico. It re quired three years to make ilie trip, and on the return Narcelle remained here some time. Each year thereafter he would go up to Fort Benton and other upper Missouri river-points until about the year 1841, when he left the employ of the company and located permanently at this point, and finally near the mouth of Antelope creek, where he resided until 1892, when he removed just north of the Cheyenne river. Pierre Choteau had charge of these parts for American Fur company for many years, and Mr. Narcelle was his most trusted friend.
