Please help, first helpful answer gets brainliest. This question is also worth 50 points. Describe the encounter between the fur trappers and the Indian warriors in a very objective
way, without using language that suggests a particular attitude toward any of the historical
figures involved in the event.

Here's what was assigned to read:

"Something of the dangers affecting the life of the hunter and trapper may be gathered from the following statements, made by various parties who have been engaged in it. In 1808, a Missouri Company engaged in fur hunting on the three forks of the river Missouri, were attacked by Blackfeet, losing twenty-seven men, and being compelled to abandon the country. In 1823, Mr. Ashley was attacked on the same river by the Arickaras, and had twenty-six men killed. About the same time the Missouri company lost seven men, and fifteen thousand dollars' worth of merchandise on the Yellowstone River. A few years previous, Major Henry lost, on the Missouri River, six men and fifty horses. In the sketch given of Smith's trading adventures is shown how uncertain were life and property at a later period. Of the two hundred men whom Wyeth led into the Indian country, only about forty were alive at the end of three years. There was, indeed, a constant state of warfare between the Indians and the whites, wherever the American Companies hunted, in which great numbers of both lost their lives. Add to this the dangers posed by wild beasts, famine, cold, and all manner of accidents, and the trapper's chance of life was about one in three."
