Letter from William Wingate Sewall to Samuel T. Sewall

William Wingate Sewall participated in a cattle roundup that lasted seventeen days and covered 500 miles. He describes the route they took and the country they traveled through. Sewall had a good time and enjoyed the trip but he would not spend his life in Dakota Territory even if he could own the whole territory. The “poor settlers” in Dakota live very roughly and he thinks that when they can vote they will “cook” the cattle men until the territory is left to the “small fellows.”

Letter from Gifford Pinchot to James Wilson

Gifford Pinchot objects to a current bill in the House of Representatives for several reasons; it will limit the creation of new forest reserves, interfere with irrigation, and the government will lose money. Also, it will help the railroads and large cattle companies against the small settlers of the West. He fears this will lead to outrage on the part of the general population.

Letter from John D. Dow to Theodore Roosevelt
