RARE LOOK AT 19TH-CENTURY DAKOTA LIFE The Minnesota Historical Society has acquired a rare collection of materials created from the 1830s to the 1860s by Alexander G. Huggins and his family. The collection includes a diary of Huggins' daily life at the Dakota mission at Lac qui Parle, a smaller diary kept by his son Amos, an autograph book kept by his daughter Mary, three "carte de visite" albums, and assorted daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes images. The Huggins collection will be available to view in the Society’s library beginning in February. please go to this website for mor information www.mnhs.org/collections/upclose/hugginsDiary.htmBarbara
