POWDER RIVER,
LET ER BUCK,
WAR SLOGAN
HELENA, Mont., May 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—"Powder River, Let
’er Buck,” battle cry of the ninety
first, Wild West division, composed
of Montana, Washington, Oregon and
California troops, is the old war cry
of the Montana cowboy. Before it
rang on the Argonne, It iiad been
heard for more than fifty years from
the Rio Grande to the Canadian line,
in many a hard fought battle.
To grasp the significance of the cry,
one must master a bit of geography.
The Powder river rises in northern
Wyoming and crosses the Montana
line near Graham,in the newly-created
Powder River county, to pass through
that county, Custer and Prairie, in
which it flows into the Yellowstone
river, between BlateSiford and Kamm.
“Powder River, a mile wide and an
inch deep” was the battle cry of the
puncher—and abbreviated, as above it
became the battle cry of the Montana
soldier in the groat war. In the days
when the west was the west and the
puncher reigned supreme cowboys
were migratory. There were few who
did not know the Powder river. It is
the cowman’s ideal of a stream.
It is nowhere a mile wide, of course,
except in flood; and it is everywhere
more than an inch deep—though it
does sometimes threaten to dry up
altogether, in torrid seasons. But it
is sluggish wide and shallow. Here
cattle may winter in it without peril.
Swift, deep rivers means loss of stock
and consequent worry to punchers.
It was, moreover, a landmark—or a
water mark, perhaps it should be
called. Flowing through the great
stretch of plateau prairie in northern
Wyoming and southern Montana, it
could be seen from any low Butte,
for a long distance. The weary
puncher who had lost his way after
a long day in the saddle, after strays
could lope up a hill and locate him
self by its waters.
Whatever the cause the cowman as
a class knew and loved the Powder
river. Those were rough days, skir
mishes and pitched battle between
the cow outfits were common. Gradu
ally the Montana puncher Jggggn to
adopt “Powder River, Let ’er Buck! ”
as his cry. , (
The cry entered politics. The east
ern, the “cow” counties, began to use
the cry at political meetings and ral
lies. Then came the Spanish war and
Montana sent a due per cent of punch
ers into Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
When the Second Montana was or
tanized, the eastern counties piled In.
rhey made “Powder River" the bat
Je-cry of the unit, with unanimous
ionsent. They saw some service in
;he “McDonal Rebellion," in Butte, in
LI 14. Later they went to the Mexican
porder, where Pershing observed
hem and saw that they were good.
Then, the great war. The Second,
me of the first regiments called, be
3ame the 163rd United States In
fantry. “Powder River a Mile Wide
ind aft Inch Deep, Let ’er Buck!” was
painted on their regimental band. It
ivas the official wary cry.
As a unit, the 134rd never entered
a battle. When it reached Prance
Pershing distributed the men among
the First and Second divisions to fill
the gaps in regular regiments.
From Catigny to Sean, men of the
outfit fought and “Powder River” was
heard in every battle.
It was the drafted men that gave
the cry to the Ninety-first division.
They took it to Camp Lewis with
them and there, the cry caught the
fancy of the California, Oregon and
Washington men with whom they
were brigaded and was adopted with
enthusiasm.
The Germans heard the cry on the
Argonne and in Belgium and the
Ninety-first came back with a reputa
tion second to none.
