[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. See

[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_,

[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.

[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.
