U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 refugee claims and related records, 1862-1866 (bulk 1862-1863).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/780065841

Correspondence, receipts, claims vouchers, and related records documenting claims to the state from both refugees and the private persons and organizations who provided relief to the refugees immediately following the war. Funds for the claims were taken from $25,000 approved by a Special Session of the State Legislature on September 25, 1862 for the relief of refugees driven from their homes during the U.S.-Dakota War. St. Paul banker Peter Berkey was named State Commissioner for the Distribution of the Refugee Fund, with assistance from H. A. Swift (later replaced by M. B. Stone), Jared Benson, and Daniel Basset. The legislated funds were also supplemented from collections taken in Ohio, New York, and other eastern areas.
