    COLLECTIONS
    OF THE

    HISTORICAL SOCIETY

    VOLUME X. PART II.

    ST. PAUL, MINN.:
    PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY.

    FEBRUARY, 1905.

    THE LIBRARY
    OF CONGRESS




    This text is based on the following book(s):
    10-20866 r97. General Collections, Library of Congress. Copyright status not determined; refer to accompanying matter.

    This volume is a collection of several different kinds of important historical documents published by the Minnesota Historical Society. It is the second of a two-volume compilation of addresses and papers presented before the Society from 1899 through 1904. In addition to memorials, obituaries, and addresses for prominent historical figures (Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple, Governor Alexander Ramsey, Judge Charles Flandrau, and General John B. Sanborn) and other members of the Society, there are articles on Minnesota's Second State Legislature (1859-60), the lumber industry and transportation on the Upper St. Croix River, the eastern, western, and southern boundaries of Minnesota, and the mills erected by federal troops at the Falls of St. Anthony. There is also a major article on Médart Chouart or Sieur des Groseilliers (1625-1698) and his brother-in-law Pierre Esprit Radisson (c.1636-c.1710), with extensive primary and secondary source quotations and an annotated bibliography. These two explorers are believed to be the first Europeans to have reached the Upper Mississippi River. The Sioux chief, Gabriel Reveille, provides an eye-witness account of the Sioux uprising of 1862 and Sibley's expedition against the Sioux in 1863. According to an appended biographical sketch of Reveille by Samuel Brown, Reveille became head scout for General Sibley on the frontier between Minnesota and Dakotah Territory after saving the lives and property of many whites captured by the Sioux during the uprising. An index of all the authors published in the Minnesota Historical Society Collections, vols. 1-10, appears at the end of this volume, as does an index for both parts of volume 10.
