The STUNNING ICE JAM at Yankton (Dakota Territory, USA) on March 28, 1881. Huge masses crushed steamboats at their winter anchorage on the Missouri River. The steamer Western quickly sank after suffering a 20-foot gash. Some steamers were flung far up the bank, one landing about 2,200 feet (670 meters) from the river. Piles of ice reached as high as 30+ feet above flood water level. Ice and water swept away most of the town of Vermillion and completely submerged Green Island, Nebraska.

The Helena, pictured, was repaired and returned to service. Note the "Block P" logo between the stacks. The Helena was one of several steamers operated on the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers by Thomas Power of Helena. In 1890, Power became one of the first two U.S. senators from Montana. He had accumulated a fortune through banking, trtansportation, general stores, and from illegally selling whiskey to American Indians.

Stanley J. Morrow captured amazing photos of the destruction. Text and digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin.

Connections to Miles City, Montana, my hometown:
1) The Helena was one of the five steamers used to forcibly relocate Sioux Indians from Fort Keogh to Standing Rock Agency (near Bismarck) in June 1881.
2) The photographer, S.J. Morrow, had briefly served as post photographer at Fort Keogh (near Miles City) before returning to Yankton in 1880. L.A. Huffman, my favorite Old West photographer, bought Morrow's Fort Keogh gallery and obtained several historically important negatives with that purchase.

12-Horsepower Threshing Machine, circa 1910. Dust was everywhere in the L.A. Huffman view. Two men at the top fed the hopper of the threshing machine, which was immediately left of the wagon holding the tied bundles. In the foreground we see the six teams of two horses providing power. The driver at the center might occasionally crack a whip to maintain pace. The heavy metal shaft delivering power to the thresher was partially in view below the men at the hopper. The departing wagon, left, would soon return with more bundles.

The equipment and crew likely traveled from farm to farm in Eastern Montana, saving labor by separating the seed or edible portion of the crop from the husks and straw. Many shocks of grain were in the background. Two women were to the right of the loaded wagon. PC users can click image to enlarge/clarify. Text and digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin.
