Excerpt: ...for the Indians he sent the gold with which he was to pay the traders due from the Indians, to New York, and received in lieu thereof bills on the Bank of North America, and with these he paid the traders, not the Indians, when he should have paid in gold. These charges were referred to Gov. Gorman to take testimony, and I shall never forget my first impression of the man, as I saw him " clothed with a little brief authority," and strutting the stage like a monarch of all he surveyed. A tall, large-boned young man, named Dow, was secretary of the investigating committee, and from day to day the testimony was received until at last it was all in, and then Gorman went off into one of those peculiar Democratic tirades for which he was so noted, and in which he prophesied that Ramsey would be totally annihilated, politically and otherwise, but the quiet, wily, discreet Governor slipped off to Washington slyly and when the testimony was received he was there to refute it, and the result was Congress exonerated him entirely from all blame. Gorman was shocked; Ramsey was pleased. Gorman raved; Ramsey smiled. The bucking propensities of the Irish-American Governor were met by the bucking propensities of the Scotch-German Ex-Governor, and a half was called, and by a sort of mutual consent the matter was finally dropped and new political issues arose to call into action strong and vigorous opposition on the part of these two prominent men. RICE VS. GORMAN. Gov. Gorman was a man of strong positiveness of character and a Democrat in every sense of the word, completely and thoroughly saturated with the Democratic juice. Of southern birth he hated any one who sought to interfere with slavery or curtail in any degree its power, and hence his early...

Download or read book North Country written by Mary Lethert Wingerd and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1862, four years after Minnesota was ratified as the thirty-second state in the Union, simmering tensions between indigenous Dakota and white settlers culminated in the violent, six-week-long U.S.-Dakota War. Hundreds of lives were lost on both sides, and the war ended with the execution of thirty-eight Dakotas on December 26, 1862, in Mankato, Minnesota--the largest mass execution in American history. The following April, after suffering a long internment at Fort Snelling, the Dakota and Winnebago peoples were forcefully removed to South Dakota, precipitating the near destruction of the area's native communities while simultaneously laying the foundation for what we know and recognize today as Minnesota. In North Country: The Making of Minnesota, Mary Lethert Wingerd unlocks the complex origins of the state--origins that have often been ignored in favor of legend and a far more benign narrative of immigration, settlement, and cultural exchange. Moving from the earliest years of contact between Europeans and the indigenous peoples of the western Great Lakes region to the era of French and British influence during the fur trade and beyond, Wingerd charts how for two centuries prior to official statehood Native people and Europeans in the region maintained a hesitant, largely cobeneficial relationship. Founded on intermarriage, kinship, and trade between the two parties, this racially hybridized society was a meeting point for cultural and economic exchange until the western expansion of American capitalism and violation of treaties by the U.S. government during the 1850s wore sharply at this tremulous bond, ultimately leading to what Wingerd calls Minnesota's Civil War. A cornerstone text in the chronicle of Minnesota's history, Wingerd's narrative is augmented by more than 170 illustrations chosen and described by Kirsten Delegard in comprehensive captions that depict the fascinating, often haunting representations of the region and its inhabitants over two and a half centuries. North Country is the unflinching account of how the land the Dakota named Mini Sota Makoce became the State of Minnesota and of the people who have called it, at one time or another, home.
Download or read book Pioneer Photographers from the Mississippi to the Continental Divide written by Peter E. Palmquist and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biographical dictionary of some 3,000 photographers (and workers in related trades), active in a vast area of North America before 1866, is based on extensive research and enhanced by some 240 illustrations, most of which are published here for the first time. The territory covered extends from central Canada through Mexico and includes the United States from the Mississippi River west to, but not including, the Rocky Mountain states. Together, this volume and its predecessor, Pioneer Photographers of the Far West: A Biographical Dictionary, 1840-1865, comprise an exhaustive survey of early photographers in North America and Central America, excluding the eastern United States and eastern Canada. This work is distinguished by the large number of entries, by the appealing narratives that cover both professional and private lives of the subjects, and by the painstaking documentation. It will be an essential reference work for historians, libraries, and museums, as well as for collectors of and dealers in early American photography. In addition to photographers, the book includes photographic printers, retouchers, and colorists, and manufacturers and sellers of photographic apparatus and stock. Because creators of moving panoramas and optical amusements such as dioramas and magic lantern performances often fashioned their works after photographs, the people behind those exhibitions are also discussed.
