http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40565695

This collection focuses on Pueblo Indian legal issues that Francis Wilson was involved with as a private attorney, following his tenure as U.S. Attorney for the Pueblo Indians. Government publications on Pueblo Indian lands, prohibition, irrigation, and Indian schools form the bulk of this collection. Additionally, there is a transcript of the New Mexico Supreme Court Case, Pueblo of Taos v. A.R. Mabry, et. al., settling discrepancies concerning the Antonio Martinez land grant. Other publications, pamphlets, flyers, and news clippings support these themes, as well as oil on the Navajo reservation, Indian welfare, reorganization of the United States Indian Service, and Dr. Edgar L. Hewett's position on the Pueblo Indians. There is a directory of Indian schools in New Mexico, containing data such as teachers' names and number of students, as well as one piece of correspondence from Wilson to his wife, when Wilson went to Washington D.C. with a delegation of Pueblo Indians (1913).
