    This text is based on the following book(s):

    This volume is a collection of several different kinds of important historical documents published by the Minnesota Historical Society. It continues the history of Minnesota's newspapers begun by Daniel S. B. Johnston (1832-1914) in volume 10, part 1 and carries it forward for the years 1858 through 1865, amending some earlier errors and omissions and offering new material complete with quotations, anecdotes, and personal speculations. Other major entries in this volume include histories of the University of Minnesota, the state's capitol buildings, and the frigate Minnesota; discussions of Minnesota charities, the banking industry, boundaries and land surveys; and local topics related to St. Paul, St. Cloud, and Goodhue County. There are also recollections of the territorial and state legislator, William Pitt Murray (1827-1910), and extensive Civil War material by Gen. Lucius Frederick Hubbard (1836-1913), who enlisted as a private in Company A of the Fifth Minnesota Infantry, became brigadier general of his regiment by 1862 and, twenty years later, the ninth governor of Minnesota. Hubbard emphasizes the role of the Minnesota troops in the battle of Corinth (1862), the Vicksburg campaigns (1862-1863), the Red River Expedition (1864), the battle of Nashville (1864), and the Mobile campaign (1865). Much other material in the volume illuminates the relationship between white Americans and the Native Americans of this region, particularly the Dakota or Sioux. The Rev. Samuel William Pond (1808-1891) provides ethnographically detailed information about the Minnesota Sioux in 1834, the year he and his brother Gilbert started a mission at Lake Calhoun. Dr. Asa W. Daniels (1829-1923), a pioneer physician who attended the Wahpekuta and Medawakantonwan bands of the Dakota (1854-1861), reminisces about Chief Little Crow (d. 1853). An address at Fort Snelling commemorates a treaty in 1805 between Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike (1779-1813) and various Sioux chiefs ceding territory to the United States. There is also a brief, historical article about the three chiefs named Wabasha along with some items of archaeological interest. This volume also contains addresses and papers presented to the Minnesota Historical Society from September, 1904-1908 and obituaries for members who died during that time. Memorial addresses honor Judge Greenleaf Clark (1835-1904), Harlan Page Hall (1838-1907), the journalist and newspaper publisher, Horace Austin (1831-1905), governor of Minnesota from 1870 through 1874, and Andrew Ryan McGill (1840-1905), tenth governor of Minnesota (1887-1889). There is also an address marking the presentation to the Society of a portrait of the Rev. Ezekiel Gilbert Gear, the Episcopal chaplain at Fort Snelling. The volume is indexed.
