These Happy Golden Years

This is Uncle Tom who appears in DeSmet  in "These Happy Golden Years" to tell the story of the expedition to the Black Hills. The story he told was recorded by a woman on the trip, Annie B. Tallent. She wrote a book about the adventure titled "THE BLACK HILLS; or, The Last Hunting Ground of the Dakotahs" published in 1899. Copies are available from ABEBOOKS.com, just click "Find Book".

Laura describes Uncle Tom Quiner as, "...a small, quiet man with a gentle smile... Although he was so small and soft-spoken, he had bossed the rough men and handled the dangerous log drives fearlessly... he had plunged in among the floating logs of a drive and... dragged an injured man from the river to safety."

Genealogical Note: When searching families, look to the middle names of children for clues as to the maiden name of their mother--it was common to use the mother's maiden name as a middle name. In the Wilders, this is the case with the names Paine and Gould. These names then sometimes migrate through the generations to become first names. Also look to the oldest male child's first name as being very likely being the same as that of the mother's father.
