THE project for the work herewith submitted was started by the survivors of Minnesota organizations in the Civil War at their separate annual reunions in 1888. Pursuant to that action a meeting of representatives of a majority of the organizations was held at St. Paul, Dec, 11, 1888, which chose a com mittee to prepare a plan for the publication of the proposed history. That committee, after repeated conferences, reported a bill for an act of the legisla ture, which, after a few alterations, was approved by a meeting, Jan. 10, 1889, of representatives of nearly, or quite, every organization. The bill was intro duced in the House of Representatives by Hon. F. E. Searle of St. Cloud, Jan. 24, was finally passed with some amendments, was approved April 16, 1889, and is as follows: An Act to Provide for the Preparation and Publication of a History of the Organization and Services of Minnesota Troops in the Civil War of 1861-1865, and the Indian War of 1862.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from State-Building in the West This company was followed by the Mackinaw Company in 1794. While the Northwesters occupied the more northern regions, the Mackinaws pushed down by Green bay, Fox river, and the Wisconsin, towards the Mississippi. The United States, seeing this foreign invasion of its territory, in 1796 sent out agents to establish rival posts to prevent this trade from being diverted from its own citizens; and from this time the Americans took quite an active part in the fur trade. But the most important movement on our part was when Mr. John Jacob Astor, a native of Germany but an American citizen, embarked in the business in 1807. After a year Or two of successful operations, he incorporated the American Fur Company in 1809. He afterwards, and in 1811, in conjunction with members of the Northwest Company, purchased the Mackinaw Company and merged that and the American Fur Company into a new one called the Southwest Company. Then came the war of 1812 with Great Britain, which put an end to the British trading for furs in American territory. In 1792 the Russians went into Alaska and carried on a very extensive fur trade, and held it until our purchase of it in 1867. Mr. Astor pushed his trade by land across the continent, and by sea along the Pacific coast, founding the town of Asto ria, at the mouth of the Columbia, which was captured by the British in the war of 1812. This occupation of the country for the purposes of trading with the Indians left very little impression upon its future population, but it formed a most interesting epoch in its his: tory, and has been very appropriately called by one of Minne sota'e first historians, the heroic age of American commerce.
