Title
Letter from George W. Ewing to William Medill?, November 24 1846
Description
Ewing wants to clarify information. First, he says it is false that three white men reported the Kansas reservation to be poor land. Instead, he insists that the Miami delegation who scouted west in 1845 themselves said the reservation in Kansas was poor land. Second, he argues against rumors that he opposed the swift Miami removal. Instead, he asserts it was in his interest as contract owner to quickly remove the Miamis.
