Mr. Catlin, in his Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and

Condition of the North American Indians, Vol.  II p. 160, gives an interesting account of the Coteau des Prairies, and the Red Pipestone Quarry.  He says:—­

“Here (according to their traditions) happened the mysterious birth of the red pipe, which has blown its fumes of peace and war to the remotest corners of the continent; which has visited every warrior, and passed through its reddened stem the irrevocable oath of war and desolation.  And here, also, the peace-breathing calumet was born, and fringed with the eagle’s quills, which has shed its thrilling fumes over the land, and soothed the fury of the relentless savage.
