Abstract:
Circa thirty letters, most autograph, signed, to George LeRoy Brown, primarily concerning his term as acting Indian agent of Pine Ridge Agency in South Dakota. Brown's dispute with writer and activist Charles Eastman is particularly well documented. Brown collected letters from Indian rights activists, jurists, military officers, and friends supporting his case and congratulating him on Eastman's resignation. Also present is a copy of his letter to T. J. Morgan, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, requesting Eastman's removal. Other letters and newspaper clippings document the 1893 killing of four white cowboys at Pine Ridge by a group of Sioux who were also at the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. Correspondents include Richard Henry Pratt, founder of Carlisle Indian Industrial School; Herbert Welsh, founder of the Indian Rights Association; Byron M. Cutcheon, politician; William Hobart Hare, Episcopal bishop and missionary; and George Bliss Sanford, colonel in the United States Army. Other contents include correspondence and reports from Brown's time as professor of military science at Delaware College.
Description:
George LeRoy Brown (1849-1921) was acting Indian agent at the Pine Ridge Agency from 1891 to 1893, following the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. An 1872 graduate of West Point, Brown served as professor of military science at Delaware College, later the University of Delaware, from 1889 to 1891. At the Pine Ridge Agency, Brown was accused by Charles Eastman, a Dakota physician, of misusing agency land and embezzling reparations payments, while Brown accused Eastman of insubordination. Two investigations exonerated Brown and forced Eastman out of his position. Following his term at the Pine Ridge Agency, Brown was promoted to colonel in the United States Army, served in Cuba and the Philippines, and taught military science at American colleges. and Purchased from William Reese Co. on the Walter McClintock Memorial Fund, 2011.
