Edward Rose, who was part Cherokee, part Negro and part white, grew up on the river front wharves of Louisville, Kentucky in the late 1700s. As a young man he got into a brutal bar fight where he received several scarring cuts to his face before killing a Frenchman. To evade the law, Rose fled down the river to New Orleans where he learned to rob river travelers.
In 1806, Rose left New Orleans to travel up the Missouri River where he worked as a fur trapper and interpreter. Rose was well known among the fur-trading companies that traveled the Missouri and its tributaries; he led several trapping and military expeditions up the rivers to the Rocky Mountains. Rose spent much of his time among the Crow and Arikara tribes. The Crow called him Five Scalps due to an extraordinary act of bravery. Rose was living with the River Crow when his hunting party abducted an Atsina girl who later became Woman War Chief.
Because of his temper and lack of business sense, Rose became a controversial figure. After Rose's death, James Pierson Beckwourth, who had known Ed Rose, claimed credit for many of Rose's exploits.
