Pierre Dorion

Having rejected Mr. Astor's suggestion to take part in the Pacific Company, Mr. Manuel Lisa of the Missouri Traders did not propose to see his field invaded.

The same difficulties were encountered at St. Louis in engaging men as at Montreal, and when Hunt was finally ready in March 1811 to set out with his sixty men up to Missouri, Lisa resurrected a liquor debt against Pierre Dorion, Hunt's interpreter, with a fluid that cheers a French Canadian charged at ten dollars a quart.

Pierre slipped Lisa's coil by going overland through the woods and meeting Hunt's party farther upstream, beyond the law.

Whatever his motive, Lisa at once organized a search party of twenty picked voyageurs to go up to Missouri to the rescue of that Andrew Hendry, who had fled from the Blackfeet over the mountains to Snake River.

Ah, geez.

I don't want to blame the wrong guy, but was that Pierre Dorion?

Hmm.

'97 draft.

We gotta add some weight behind those punches.

But I think for a guy that was undrafted, and we remember, Ross, he played with Pierre Dorion's kid.

Uh [laughs] that's where-

In Hawksbury.
