http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv63931

The Maginnis Incoming Correspondence Transcriptions consist of typed transcripts prepared by, or under the supervision of, Merrill G. Burlingame. The letters are a selection of incoming correspondence at Maginnis' Washington D. C. office from 1874 to 1878. The letters are from a wide variety of Montana territorial residents and locations, dealing with topics such as Indian affairs, territorial and national politics, government contracts and contractors, Yellowstone National Park, patronage requests, railroads, and land surveys. The transcriptions were taken from original letters presently held by the Montana Historical Society in their collection number 50. This set should not be considered a complete representation of those found in the Maginnis collection at the Montana Historical Society.
