Papers, 1816-1855.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145784017

Papers of Grignon, a resident of Kaukauna, Wis., federal Indian interpreter, and local Democratic political figure. A few letters and accounts reflect Grignon's interest in the waning fur-trade business which he acquired from his father Augustin Grignon, but most of the correspondence relates to his work as an Indian interpreter from 1844 to 1855. Included are records of annuity payments and of conferences with the Indians, and references to his trips to Washington on behalf of the Menominees in 1845 and 1850. Among Grignon's correspondents on politics, business, and Indian affairs were Florimond J. Bonduel, Ben C. Eastman, Albert G. Ellis, George W. Ewing, Morgan L. Martin, and Lyman C. Draper.
