This volume is a collection of several different kinds of important historical documents published by the Minnesota Historical Society. It is the first of a two-volume compilation of addresses and papers presented before the Society from 1899 through 1904. These secondary materials deal specifically with Minnesota and regional subjects such as the history of Fort Ripley (1849-1859) and the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux (1851), the history of raising wheat in the Red River Valley, and Minnesota flour manufacture. There are also materials dealing with steamboats on the Minnesota and Red Rivers, railroads, government land surveys in Minnesota west of the Mississippi, and the founding of Hutchinson and its association with the singing Hutchinson family. There are also items concerning the Rev. Joseph W. Hancock's missionary work among the Dakota or Sioux at Red Wing (1849-1852) sponsored by the American Board of Foreign Missions, the early Catholic and Protestant Episcopal church in Minnesota, the history of St. Paul's mid-nineteenth-century real estate, and Minnesota's early schools and libraries. Five major papers by Daniel S. B. Johnston (1832-1914) concern Minnesota journalism during the territorial period and contain quotations and anecdotes. An index for both parts one and two of volume 10 appears at the end of part two (the next volume).
