Parker, Ely Samuel, 1828-1895. To Robert Campbell. Washington (D.C.)
Manuscripts
The American Indian File is an artificially assembled collection which includes miscellaneous pieces and five smaller groups of papers concerning Indians in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The documents are primarily concerned with the transfer of land from Indians to whites and include deeds, indentures, treaties, proclamations and mortgages. Nearly all the papers are dated from 1634 to 1815, with a very few pieces from the late 19th and the 20th centuries. Also included is information on military and political affairs, negotiations and Indian ethnology, primarily between 1780 to 1850. Tribes belonging to the Iroquoian language family, including the Cherokees and Senecas, are most fully represented, but tribes in the Algonquian family, especially in the Great Lakes region are also represented (Ottawa and Saginaw Chippewa).

Ely Samuel Parker letters to Robert Campbell
Manuscripts
Two letters from Ely Parker to frontiersman and fur trader Robert Campbell (1804-1879), written during Parker's time as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The first letter regards instructions for establishing agencies for Red Cloud and Spotted Tail's Sioux bands. Parker writes that Red Cloud has requested an agency at Fort Laramie or Fort Fetterman, but Parker instead recommends that the agency be kept on existing Indian land at Raw Hide Buttes rather than being moved to government land. He gives similar instructions for Spotted Tail, also stipulating that the locations selected by suitable for agriculture and have supplies of water and timber. The second letter accompanied payment for Campbell's purchase of "articles" for Navajo Indians. Both letters are on Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs letterhead.
