Biographical manuscripts documenting the Dease and Gingras families, Irish and French Canadian traders, politicians, and pioneers, who lived in the Red River Settlement and Pembina County, North Dakota (1850s-1960).

Gingras, who operated a Red River ox cart line between St. Joseph and St. Paul and who served in the Minnesota territorial legislature in 1852-1853; and his father, Alfred Dease.
