Biographical History
General Joseph Montfort Street was a lawyer, merchant, U.S. Army officer, and U.S. Indian agent born in 1782 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. He studied law in Henry Clay's office in Kentucky, and subsequently practiced in that state and Tennessee. In 1806 he became editor of the "The Western World" in Frankfort, Kentucky, a newspaper that helped expose Aaron Burr's conspiracy to sieze and detach U.S. lands from the Union. From 1827-1835 Street served as U.S. Indian agent to the Winnebago at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, a period during which he participated in the Black Hawk War and became involved in post-war settlements with the Sauk and Fox. He served as agent for the Sauk and Fox at Rock Island, Illinois from 1835-1838, and at Agency, Iowa from 1838 until his death in 1840. His close work with Chiefs Poweshiek and Wapello in Iowa prompted the latter's request to be buried next to the General.
General Joseph Montfort Street was United States Indian Agent for the Winnebagos at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, 1828-1835; and for the Sauk and Fox Indians at Rock Island, Illinois, 1835-1838; and at Agency, Iowa, 1838-1840.
