I am looking for information on a Cora Belle Fellows,aka Blue Star. She came from an upper class family in Washington, D.C., in 1884, to teach Dakota children. in 1887, according to a newspaper article, she married Chief Chaska,aka Samuel Campbell, of the Cheyenne Agency. I want to know more about these two people. Do not let the name of the agency fool you. It was located on the Missouri River in Dewey County, and many Sioux people were located there.

I swear, everytime I look I find something new. There is also, Burnside, Goodhue County, Minnesota, 1880 Census, that has many Native Americans and both their English and Native American names on it.
