The Great Northern gave these postcards to members of the 1925 Upper Missouri Historical Expedition to send to friends and relations. I copied them from the Minnesota History Center.

The first one shows the monument the railway erected in memory of David Thompson near a town that the railway had renamed “Verendrye.” Verendrye was a French explorer and Thompson a British Explorer and both had camped near this point several years apart — as did Lewis & Clark several years later.

Here is a photo of Chief Joseph attributed to William Henry Jackson. The site where the Nez Perce finally surrendered to the U.S. Army was visited by the expedition. Joseph’s famous “I will fight no more forever” speech was in fact probably written by army lieutenant Charles Erskine Scott Wood, who later became a well-known writer and poet.

This is a monument placed by the Great Northern a few miles east of Glacier Park and south of the Meriwether Lewis’ northern-most encampment. Lewis called it “Camp Disappointment” because he was disappointed to learn that the Missouri River drainage did not extend any further north (which would have allowed the U.S. to claim much of the land that is now Alberta). Great Northern publicists implied instead that he called it that because he was disappointed he couldn’t find Marias Pass.

This statue of John Frank Stevens, who did locate Marias Pass (which was probably well known to the Blackfeet), was unveiled on the last day of the Upper Missouri Expedition. GN claimed it was the first statue to a still-living person ever erected in the United States; Stevens had been an early mentor to GN president Ralph Budd and Budd wanted to suitably honor his friend. The statue had obviously been there for some time prior to the expedition to allow the railway to photograph it for this postcard.
