I have obtained the Hinman collection from the NSHS. I will be posting some of the more interesting info here. Some of the wording of the times may be deemed offensive to some of our members and I will refrain from posting that. Some is still copyright protected and I will not be posting those items either. If you are interested in the entire collection, send me your email address and I'll send you the links.
The holdings are as follows-

Minnesota and Santee Agency, Nebraska: Missionary, Interpreter, Sioux Treaty Commission member. Approx. No. of Items: 16 (approx. 74 pages)
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Samuel Dutton Hinman, son of Thomas and Mary (Carrington) Hinman, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on January 17, 1839. He received his education at institutions of the Protestant Episcopal Church and, after attending the Seabury (Minnesota) Divinity School, was ordained a Deacon in 1860. In October of 1860, Hinman married Mary Ellen Berry and was appointed missionary to the Sioux Indians. Hinman was the first Episcopal missionary sent to the Dakota or Sioux and he established the Mission of St. John at the Lower Sioux Agency, in Redwood County, Minnesota.
In 1861, Hinman was made a Priest of the Church. Rev. Hinman escaped the Sioux uprising of 1862 by fleeing to Fort Ridgely, twelve miles away from where his mission was destroyed. After the uprising he continued to work among the Indians at Fort Snelling and was placed in charge of Indian removal to a reservation near Fort Randall, Dakota Territory. In 1866, Rev. Hinman was assigned to the Santee Agency in Nebraska.
During his tenure at the Santee Agency, Hinman oversaw the construction of a church and school there. During the 1870s and 1880s, he served in a variety of capacities - as a census enumerator, as an interpreter, as a commission member dealing with the treatment of the Sioux - in which his friendship with the Santee Sioux proved useful.
Mary Hinman, the mother of Hinman's five sons, died in 1876. Rev. Hinman married Mary Myrick in 1885. She, his five sons, and their daughter survived him upon his death on March 2, 1890.
