http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145781931

Papers, some of which are photostatic copies, of Alexis Bailly, a Mississippi River fur trader, who for a number of years made his headquarters at Prairie du Chien, Wis. and about the year 1840 settled at Wabasha, Minnesota. The papers touch on his trading operations at the mouth of the St. Peter's River, on Lake Pepin, and on the Chippewa River, associating at various times with James H. Lockwood, Joseph Rolette, Jean B. Faribault, and Joseph R. Brown, and acting as an agent for the American Fur Company. There are references to Indian affairs, particularly the Sioux half-breed claims to a reservation on Lake Pepin; to the education of his children; and to his appointments to Crawford County, Wis. offices.
