my command, and doubtless many
more were concealed or carried of
with a large number Of wounded who
were transported from the field by
their comrades.
81 would respectfully suggest that
Major Hatch's battalion be ordered
to garrison a post at st. Joseph. They
may do good service there. l shall
probably leave the column in two OF
three days and proceed to st. Paul
from where / will again address
YOU"
Previous reference to the garrison
at Sank Centre was made on Nov. g
1862 by Major General John Pope in
report to Governor A. Ramsey, ST.
Paul, in which he said:
"Fort Ridgley and points on the
river below would have been and will
be occupied, as also line of frontier
posts from Sank Centre as far south
as the Iowa line"
These records are all of nature
which tend to show the Importance
attached to Sank Centre during the
wars against the Indians.
This locality was centrally located
and in the heart of the Indian bat
Ting grounds. Troops moving both
east and west, relief parties and ref
uges who had been driven from their
homes by the rowing Sioux.
One of the engineers who played
an active part in the early life of this
locality, was James Beveredge. Mr..
Beveredge came to Sank Centre and
vicinity in, 1857 in the employ of
Edwin Whitefeld, and he was the
man who plated and laid out, the
dream city, Kandota. ...
Mr.. Beveredge later, did consider
able engineering work in Sank Gen.
ire and laid out many new town lots
in Sank Centre.
To be Continued.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-04-07

There was never a regular camp OF
Chippewa Indians in Sank Centre OF
immediate vicinity, according to in
formation received Monday from the
White Earth Indian reservation.
William Daily, Indian interpreter
and one of the federal officials at the
reservation, in a letter to the writer
gives the information that Sank Cen
tire was a hunting ground frequented
by the Chippewa tribes, but that not
in the recollection of any living Chip
pewa, was it ever camping ground,
except in the incident Of the Winnie
bago tribes making their temporary
encampment here on their way north,
on the present Home School site.
Chief Kay-dug-e-gwon-ash, and
Jim Bassett, two of the oldest Chip
pewas now living, tell or numerous
hunting trips into Sank Centre ter
ritory, of the herds of buffalo which
once made this section their stalking
grounds and of the many advantages
offered by the lake and river, but for
the exception of hunting and war
parties, the Chippewas considered all
Of this territory Sioux country, be-
cause it lay west of the Mississippi
River.
Along in the summer Of 1862 when
the government was making an effort
TO draft troops into the federal SER
vice to take part in the Civil War,
considerable opposition was met with
in this section of Minnesota because
of the Indian wars. Men were prone
to leave their families to the mercies
of the sa~ages, much as they desired
rendering to their country's need of
troops.
An appeal to President Lincoln in
the matter of staying. the draft in
Minnesota, brought the following
short and effective message to Gov
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-04-07

and Its Life
By GEORGE D. WING

ernor A. Ramsey, August ~, 1862:
"Yours received. Attend to thu
Indians. If the draft cannot proceed
of course it will not proceed. Neces
sity knows no law. The Government
cannot extend the time. (Signed) A
Lincoln"
Alexander Ramsey retired as gov
ernor in 1863 to assume the office o.
United States Senator.
An important and interesting fea
ture of Sank Centre history is 3
communication written by General
H. H. Sibley, commanding the fielo
forces against the Sioux in this north
west territory during the Indian wal
in 1862 and '63.
General Sibley arrived at Camp
Rubles, Sank Centre with a column
of troops on Sept. 2, 1868 and after
hurried observation of conditions,
made the following repot to Major
j. F. Meline, Asst. Adjutant General
of the department Of the northwest,
with headquarters at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
General Sibley's first report of
conditions from Sank Centre under
date of Sept. 16, 1868, read:
. major: have the honor to report
my arrival with the counmn at this
post. A requisition has been made
upon me by Senator Ramsey, COM
missioner on the part of the govern
ment to negotiate a treaty with the
Pembina and Red Lake bands of
Chippewas for an escort of two
