Although the trading post on the Grand River was owned by the Chouteau brothers of St. Louis, its active management was for many years in the hands of superintendents, or, ast the Creole engagees or trappers called them, "les bourgeois." The last of these was Joseph Revard, who was killed by a band of Western Cherokees from Arkansas, about 1818 or 1819. this was during the era of hostilities between the Osages and the Western Cherokees. The success of the Osages in their predatory attacks upon the Chreokees was believed by the latter to be largely due to the counsel and support of Revard and a party of Cherokee warriors was accordingly made up for the express purpose of proceeding to the Grand River and making way with him, which was promptly done.^[1]
