    I would like to access Taliaferro papers and correspondence online, if possible, as I am apparently a descendent of the mother of Shakopee, the Ojibwa chief, who seems also to have been the Dakota Shakopee of the Minnesota Territorial years. I am also a descendent of James McBoal, Ramsey's Adjutant General of the Territory. I have no current plans to publish, and would approach MHS in any event, with publishable materials.
