Letters received by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series), 1861-1870, [1916] [microform].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313854012

Letters, briefs, memoranda, and notes sent to or originating in the office of the Adjutant General, the majority of which were received for filing in the period 1861-1870. Of particular Minnesota interest is File 5I-1866 (frames 501-735), which pertains to the Dakota Conflict of 1862 and its aftermath. This file encompasses the years 1862-1916, and comprises a "consolidated file" assembled some years after the constituent letters were initially filed; the "I" in the file number apparently designates "Indian."
