About This Item
St. Paul: Owens & Moore, printers, 1852. 8vo, pp. 64; original green printed wrappers; shallow edge chipping and toning to covers, text clean and sound. Simpson's talk concerns an expedition into Navajo country made in 1849 by Col. Jno. M. Washington to coerce the Navajos into compliance with a treaty made with the United States. Simpson accompanied the expedition and makes many observations on the land and people. Other articles include G. H. Pond on Indian mounds, T. M. Fullerton on the St. Louis River, Edward D. Neill on the history of early trade in the state, the battle of Lake Pokeguma [sic] as narrated by an "eye-witness." Of particular note are the extracts of the daily journal of W. T. Boutwell as he accompanied Schoolcraft on his 1832 expedition to the headwaters of the Mississippi. Minnesota Imprints 47; Sabin 49274.
