Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott

President Roosevelt explains to Lyman Abbott the process of selling Rosebud reservation land. Roosevelt’s agents wanted to sell the land for $5 per acre, however, they decided to sell for $4 and $3 to settlers. There is still a lot of available land for sale. They want to ensure that Native Americans receive as much money as possible while still settling as many homesteaders too.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert J. Gamble

President Roosevelt is opposed to the House bill that would open a portion of the Rosebud Reservation in Gregory County, South Dakota. He agrees with the general policy of opening reservations but is concerned that the bill does not pay a sufficient price to the Native Americans. President Roosevelt wants just terms for the settlers and Native Americans.

Letter from George Kennan to Theodore Roosevelt

George Kennan writes to President Roosevelt concerning the Red Lake Reservation Land Bill. Kennan questions whether the ambiguity of the bill is intentional. He says that the “Rosebud” bill is unfair to American Indians because it intentionally undervalues their land so that it can be bought and resold at a higher price.
