No one has ever confessed the murder pf the Frenchman, but it seemed that providence had a way in dealing with murderers in the wilderness. It is generally believed that providence used in most cases, the hand of some friend of the murdered man.

The death of Brady gave name to Brady Island, which name time has never effaced.

One of the most distinguished caravans to visit the famous station of Fort Mitchell, arrived in June, 1854, when the Sir George Gore, a real lord from Sligo, Ireland, appeared.

Henry Chattillon, already famous as a guide, had been pressed into service and had piloted the party from St. Louis.

The outfit consisted of several wagons and many carts, a number of yoke of oxen, and a hundred horses, a large retinue of servants, a lot of thoroughbred dogs, and was also equipped with firearms, accessories, and provisions for a two year's trip.

Chattillon was to guide the party to Fort Laramie where his service was to end. At Fort Mitchell Gore made inquiries as to the best country for big game, and was making a preliminary quest for a mountain guide. All inquiries of the latter nature led him to Jim Bridger, who was at Fort Laramie at that time.

The meeting was mutually interesting to the principals, and to the spectators. Gore was accustomed to command, and he had all the imperial instincts of his nativity. On the other hand, Bridger cared absolutely nothing for rank or station. In the mountains all men were to him the same. If they could be relied upon "they were square." and if not to be reljed upon, "they were Blackfeet," (an unreliable Indian).
