| Description | "General Cass at St. Marie in 1820" taken from the Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1855, describes the negotiation of a land purchase from the Ojibwe at Sault Ste Marie during General Cass's expedition to Lake Superior and the Upper Mississippi in 1820. The Ojibwe had planned to kill Cass and his men but Mrs. Johnston, wife of a trader, convinced them to make peace with Cass and his men and to sell the land. The author refutes the rumor that Hole-in-the-Day took a prominent part in the affair or that he was even present at Sault Ste Marie. (7 pages) |
