Summary

  • This volume is a collection of several different kinds of important historical documents published by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society. It contains the last installment of the Haldimand Papers, continued from Volume 19 and covering the years 1782- 1789. The Haldimand Papers were selected from the Canadian Archives at Ottawa by B.W. Shoemaker, the Society's representative, to illuminate British influence and activities in the Great Lakes region during the era of the American Revolution and its aftermath. The materials in this volume report the reestablishment of peace between Great Britain and the United States, and the vacating of some of the Upper Military Posts. There is a detailed account of a September 6, 1783 Council convened by Alexander McKee, Esq., Deputy Agent for Indian Affairs, and attended by the Hurons of Sandusky, Delawares, Shawanese, Mingoes, Creeks, and Cherokees with Capt. Joseph Brant, accompanied by a deputation from the Six Nations of the Iroquois and T'Sindatton and a deputation of Lake Indians from Detroit. Much of the rest of this installment of the Haldimand Papers is devoted to British, Native American, and American relations. These are also the subject of the second half of the volume, which contains additional military correspondence in the Canadian Archives at Ottawa. There is extensive correspondence from Joseph Chew (a loyalist who served as Secretary of the Indian Department under Sir William Johnson and others of the Johnson family), that includes a copy of a peace treaty (signed at Grenville August 3, 1795) between the United States and the Wyandots, Delawares, Shawanoes, Ottawas, Chipewas, Putawatames, Miamis, Eel River, Weeas, and Kickapoas. An appendix with notes and an index appear at the end of the volume.
