[Washington, D.C.], ratified 6 February 1826. Folded broadsheet (330 x 204 mm). (Partly split along fold, pale stain along top edge.) Loose in calf-backed folding case. Provenance : Thomas W. Streeter (bookplate; his sale part III, Parke-Bernet, 25 October 1967, lot 1787). THE STREETER COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE EARLIEST INDIAN TREATIES DEALING WITH THE UPPER MISSOURI RIVER AREA. In it, the Minnetarees acknowledge the supremacy of the United States and agree that their trade shall be restricted to American citizens. Canadian fur traders had been crossing the border and dealing with the Indians on the Upper Missouri, and this treaty sought to thwart this practice. The treaty was concluded by Brigadier General Henry Atkinson of the United States and Major Benjamin O'Fallon, Indian Agent. Atkinson was famous for his trips up the Missouri: "His name is inseperably connected with the earliest period of the conquest of the frontier, and the part he bore is equaled in importance by that of no other contemporary with the exception of William Clark" ( DAB ). The Minnetarees were a small Dakota tribe first observed by Lewis and Clark. RARE: according to American Book Prices Current , this is the only copy sold at auction in the last 50 years. Sabin 96644; Streeter sale III:1787 (this copy).
