Jonas Bigelow letter to Otis Arnold
Manuscripts
This letter contains extensive detail from Jonas Bigelow to Otis Arnold, of Troy, New York, about his many recent activities as a merchant in Albany, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Cincinnati, Ohio; and New Orleans, Louisiana, leading eventually to his venture into Arkansas Territory to trade for beaver pelts and bear skins. The letter also describes his relocation to Fort Smith, an army post located on one of the routes along which Native Americans traveled as they were forcibly removed from the southeastern United States to Indian Territory. Bigelow writes at length about the region surrounding Fort Smith, its many opportunities for profit, and his hope to make a considerable fortune by obtaining government contracts to supply parties of Native Americans.
