CHAPTER II
[19] The Indian Chief Jagmani said of this treaty: “The Indians sold their lands at Traverse des Sioux. I say what we were told. For fifty years they were to be paid $50,000 per annum. We were also promised $300,000 that we have not seen.”—Bryant and Murch’s A History of the Great Massacre by the Sioux Indians, in Minnesota, pp. 34, 35.

[23] “At Crow-wing [Minnesota] there are no less than five whiskey shops, and [they] are only five miles from this agency. Five whiskey shops and not half a dozen habitations beside!”—Senate Documents, 1st Session, 35th Congress, Vol. II, Pt. I, pp. 339, 340, 342.

[24] This treaty “did away with all the employés ... whereas, before, the agent had a force to assist him in finding, destroying, and preventing the introduction of whiskey; now, he is entirely alone.”—Senate Documents, 1st Session, 35th Congress, Vol. II, Pt. I, p. 342.

[30] Thomas Hughes, in his article on The Treaty of Traverse des Sioux in 1851, says concerning this: “The Indians, however, repudiated this agreement, and asserted that it was a base fraud, that, as they were told and believed at the time, the paper they signed was represented to be only another copy of the treaty, and that they did not discover its real import, and the trick played upon them, until long afterward.”—Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, Vol. X, Pt. I, p. 114.
