Nathan Jarvis, MD (left) and Charles Alexander Eastman, MD (Ohiyesa). Jarvis, a surgeon, wrote one of the finest accounts of frontier life at Fort Snelling during his stay from 1833-1836. Eastman, a graduate of Boston University School of Medicine, was one of the first Indian physicians, a champion of Indian rights and a noted author. He was born near Redwood Falls in 1858, the year Minnesota became a state. See the exhibit "'If you knew the conditions...':Health Care to Native Americans" (1994), National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. Painting of Jarvis from the National Library of Medicine; photo of Eastman (1897) from the Smithsonian Institution. mbbnet.umn.edu/doric/ftsnelling.html

M. Hitchthingy, September 8, 1927 A. LaVonne Brown Ruoff The H. M. (Hiram M.) Hitchthingy papers in the Edward E. Ayer Collection contain four letters from Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa; Santee Dakota, 1858-1939) to Hitchthingy, dated from 1927 to 1935.^1 The most interesting of these letters is that of September 8, 1927, transcribed below.^2 Here Eastman proudly describes his parents' lineages and poignantly expresses his deep sorrow at the death of his mother when he was an infant. Little is known about Hitchthingy, a businessman and historian from Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1930 he published several articles about early Minnesota history and in 1931 wrote one on Eastman, "An Indian Returns Home."^3 During the early twentieth century, Eastman became one of the most prolific authors and speakers on Sioux ethnohistory and American Indian affairs. Among his most acclaimed and widely read books are Indian Boyhood (1902), Old Indian Days (1907), Soul of the Indian (1911), From the Deep Woods to Civilization (1916), and Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains (1918). In Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), Raymond Wilson describes him as "the first major Indian author to write Indian history from the Indian perspective."^4 Eastman's mother, named Winona at birth and later Wakantankawin and Mary Nancy Eastman (1830-58), was the daughter of Seth Eastman (1809-75) and Wak inajin win (Mdewakanton Dakota). In 1830 Seth Eastman and Wak inajin win married at Fort Snelling in present-day Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born in New Hampshire, Seth Eastman was a West Point graduate who became a topographical engineer and celebrated painter.

archives and special collections herman p. chilson collection of western americana -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Herman P. Chilson Collection of Western Americana represents one of the finer collections of rare books in the region. It comprises books, maps, pamphlets and print materials relating to the history of South Dakota and American Indian cultures. The items in the Chilson collection are unique as the majority of the books are first editions or special editions, and many works are inscribed by the authors. Among the items in the Chilson Collection are books in the Norwegian language, Lakota and Dakota dictionaries, and one of the first translations of the Bible into the Dakota language by Stephen Return Riggs. Included are first editions of works by South Dakota authors such as Ole Rolvaag, American Indian authors such as Vine Deloria, Jr. and regional authors such as Willa Cather and John G. Neihardt. There are extensive materials on General George Custer and the Battle of Little Bighorn as well as both historical events at Wounded Knee. The Chilson Collection is located in the Special Collections Department of the I.D. Weeks Library at the University of South Dakota. All catalogued materials in the Chilson Collection can be accessed through Aleph, the on-line library catalog. apollo.sdln.net/F/?func=find-b-0&local_base=USDSend Comments to weeksref@usd.edu www.usd.edu/library/special/chilson.cfm
