Excerpt from Historical Collections and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, Vol. 37 A set of letters written by William Johnston, a half-breed Indian, was found among the Schoolcraft papers. These are here printed, together with many interesting and carefully prepared notes by Mr. J. S. Fox, because of their value in connection with the history of the fur trade in the late years of the Territory, and their importance in Indian history and customs. The Territorial Papers, chiefly from the. Schoolcraft collection, are made up of the official correspondence of the governors of the Territory from 1831-1886. They deal with early politics, Indian questions, the Ohio and Michigan boundary, elections and appointments. These have also been annotated by Mr. Fox. The Bond Papers are more miscellaneous in character, being letters gathered from several sources, giving touches of local color, official com missions, customs reports, and lighthouse gossip. References to the dis satisfaction felt under the rule of Hull and Woodward are found in these letters as are also personal allusions to characters of minor importance.
