Charles Eugene Flandrau and family papers. 1850-1935.

Papers of Charles E. Flandrau, a lawyer and associate justice (1857-1864) of the Minnesota territorial and supreme courts, and his family, consisting largely of correspondence, invoices, receipts, deeds, and legal documents. Many date from 1856-1858, when Flandrau was Indian agent for the Mdewakanton and Wahpekute Dakota, and document his management of Sioux Agency affairs, annuity payments, and councils between the Dakota and government officials. Detailed abstracts of annuity payments list the name of the head of each family, the number in the family, and the amount of the annuity. A letter from Nathan Myrick to Captain Flandrau, requesting military units for aid against Indian attacks at Fort Ridgely (August 20, 1862). A set of contracts (1897) reflects his representation of Dakota bands in supporting an 1897 Congressional bill to restore rights forfeited in 1863.
