Oral history interview with Mary Myrick Hinman La Croix, 1980 Feb.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33420955

Interview relates to the work of La Croix's father, Samuel Dutton Hinman, a Protestant Episcopal missionary (1860-1890) to the bands of Dakota Indians that originally lived around the Lower Sioux Agency (Morton, Minn.). Most of the transcript text consists of historical information recited by the interviewer with comments by La Croix. Information includes Hinman's work and experiences with the Dakota community during the conflict of 1862 and later at the Fort Snelling encampment; at the Crow Creek (Dakota Ter.) Reservation (1863-1866); at the Santee Reservation (Niobrara, Neb., 1866-18660; and again at Lower Sioux (1886-1890). The transcript also relates Hinman's relationship with Bishop Henry Whipple and a bitter legal dispute with Bishop William H. Hare, which effectively denied Hinman's priestly status from 1877 to 1887. Other topics include the Hinman family's experiences, La Croix's childhood and education, her adult life farming in South Dakota and her recollections of various Dakota personages.
