http://www.mnhs.org/library/findaids/p2280.xml

Untitled record book giving data (mostly 1866-1867) on the sale of Minnesota real estate owned by the Pierre Chouteau, Jr. and Company fur trading firm of St. Louis, Mo. Most of this land was concentrated in St. Paul, Hastings, Sauk Rapids, and in the Mendota area. The book includes descriptions of the parcels, names of purchasers, valuations, purchase prices, cash paid, and amounts financed; rents and repairs to property; lists of unsold property; and a listing of receipts and expenses (1866-1875). There is some financial information (1867) pertaining to the "Rotary Mill," a St. Paul sawmill connected with the Chouteau interests.
