[Genealib] New U.S./Dakota War of 1862 material

[Mary Bakeman]

/Emergency aid for the Sufferers--Claims from the Dakota Conflict/ is 
now available. This volume includes the financial requests of the 
terror-stricken settlers who fled their homes to seek safety, as well as 
reimbursement requests from those who provided shelter, food and 
clothing for them. Steamboat passenger lists from down river trip 
contrast with the claims for military supplies the steamboats 
transported up river. Those still needing aid in January of 1863 are 
listed, mostly widows and their families, trying to survive and return 
to normal lives.

These transcriptions and extracts are from the original records in the 
State Archives at the Minnesota Historical Society. The two main 
sections outline the providers and recipients of aid at the local level 
of government, and the state and county government activities to help 
them. A lengthy index encourages the tracing of specific individuals and 
families as they move back to their homes, or out of the state for good.
