Stanton G. Fisher Diary (Ms 6)
The Stanton G. Fisher Diary (1875-1877) contains a day-by-day
account for the year 1875 and from August to December of the year 1877.
The entries for 1875 are brief statements of the events of the day,
concerned with events such as hunting, trapping, stock raising, building
homes and barns, and business trips to such places as Bozeman, Franklin,
Malad, Corinne, and Blackfoot. The last part is the account of Fisher and
his scouts during their enlistment of one month, August 16th to September
17th, 1877, with General O. O. Howard in his campaign against the Nez
Pierce. Mention is given of Fisher's meeting in Yellowstone National Park
with the Radersburg party, who had been visiting the Lower Geyser Basin
when confronted and captured by a group of Chief Joseph's Indians. A
register is available.
