Northwestern Indians: Letter from the Secretary of War Transmitting a Copy of a Report of Schoolcraft's Expedition Among the Northwestern Indians

Descripción

I believe that this may be the first published account of Schoolcraft's 1832 expedition in search of the source of the Mississippi. This disbound House Document No. 125 was written by Schoolcraft and submitted to the House by Lewis Cass of the War Department. In this report, Schoolcraft describes the Chippewa War (with the Sioux) and prospects for peace. He also argues against abandoning military outposts in the region. Schoolcraft was an Indian Agent in Sault Ste Marie from the 1820's to 1840's and provided interesting firsthand accounts of the status and conditions of Indians in the region. This is a disbound document prepared by the 22d Congress, 2d Session, House of Representatives, War Dept. Ref: Wagner Camp 50a (see note); 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 16 pages. N° de ref. del artículo 3178
