Pioneer Press Company, St Paul, Minnesota, 1907. Chapter 18, History of the White Earth Reservation. (Pages 239-271). I will begin the history of White Earth with a letter from Major J. D. Bassett, who was Indian agent for the Mississippi Band of Chippewas at the time of their removal to White Earth in 1868: "Wolfboro, N.H., August 10, 1906. Yours of the 27th ult. reached me a few days since, forwarded from Minneapolis. I have delayed answering it is order to consult with Mr. James Bean, who now lives in California, but was expected here, and who was my clerk during my incumbency of the Indian agency and could have given me much help in answering your letter. These answers are from memory, whichis not as clear as they would have been if I had some diaries kept at that time, which I have in Minneapolis. I find that forty years dims my memory of events that transpired that length of time ago. When the treaty was made in Washington in 1867, the party that went with me consisted of Grorge Bonga (interpreter), Head Chief Ho le-in-the-day, Peter Bottineau and five or six other Chiefs and Headmen; all full-blooded Indians. Paul H. Beaulieu was sent by me to White Earth in the spring of 1868, before the removal to explore the country and meet me on my arrival there, which was to precede the arrival of the Indians. Truman warren was employed as an interpreter and collected the Indians at the old agency near Crow Wing, superintended collecting the outfit and accompanied them on their journey. I followed them a few days after and overtook them at Otter Tail Lake, where they were met by a delegation of Sioux Indians and were holding a friendly council. Paul Beaulieu met me, before I arrived at the point afterwards selected for the agency, and accompanied me back to the reservation, and together with him the agency was located, also a road to White Earth Lake, and a site for the sawmill selected. I do not recollect now of sending any one to the reservation to do any work except what was done by Paul Beaulieu, in exploring on the reservation. As soon as the site for buildings was selected and the location of the land to be broken was marked out.... There is no question about Paul Beaulieu being the first settler. He was there before the first colony arrived and I think his family was there also, and he was employed as a farmer from the time of the first arrival of Indians at White Earth Reservation, until I left the agency. There were Indians and half-breeds constantly going and comming, but the number there was constantly increasing. I think, when the Indians arrived near the Reservation, Paul went out to meet them and piloted them to the ground. I think he met me at some point and came back with me before the arrival of the Indians. I left them at Otter Tail Lake and did not see them again until their arrival. ..." ---J. B. Bassett. BIOGRAPHY: J. W. Wakefield, now of Aitkin, Minn., who did the first plowing in Becker County, says: In the fall of 1862, I passed through Becker County with the Indian agent... I broke 240 acres of land for the Indians at White Earth, in the summer of 1868, and the winter following cut one million feet of pine logs to be sawed into lumber and to be used in the construction of the agency buildings. I started my teams from old Crow Wing in the latter part of April 1868, and Paul H. Beaulieu was the leader of the party, because he knew better how to manage the fording of the rivers, but William Thompson took charge on the work. Paul was employed by the government as farmer and survryor. After locating my teams at breaking, he returned to accompany Major Bassett... I think Paul Beaulieu's first trip to White Earth was when he went whth my teams, arriving there early in May, 1868... ...as to Paul Beaulieu, he went back to Crow Wing and brought hes family back, and so did Robert Fairbanks. ... Again Paul Beaulieu returned to Crow Wing and piloted my teams and crew through. They left Crow the early part of January, 1869. This party was P. H. Beaulieu, E. B. Lowell, John B. Wakefield and True Moores. Somewhere in the vicinity of Detroit, they experienced a snow storm. So much snow fell with the heavy wind, the men got discouraged and all agreed to turn back, when True Moores with a four-hourse team hitched up and said he was going to White Earth, as he had hired out to do and started out alone. Paul Beaulieu soon followed and after some time they all upooed out, and with much difficulty, with snow and cold, made their way by following the redges and high land, for the valleys were ten to twenty feet deep with snow.... ---Joseph B Wakefield. BIOGRAPHY: Nathan Butler, an old U.S. government surveyor, who was with the first party of Indians when they went through to White Earth in the month of June 1868, says: "It was in June 1868 that I first went into Becker County. It was the time Major Bassett moved the Indians to White Earth Reservation. I joined him near Otter Tail Lake and went to White Earth with him. Paul Beaulieu was living at White Earth with his family when Major Bassett and I arrived there. He met us two or three miles this side of the agency. He was hunting along the read, and had killed a lynx and some other game. He returned to the agency with us, and we took dinner with him, which his wife had prepared, apparently in anticipaiton of our arrival. I recollect very distinctly that she had bear meat and a trutle cooked. I noticed that Bassett ate pritty freely of the bear meat, but not of the turtle. When we were out after dinner, inspecting the breaking that Los. Wakefield was doing for the grvernment, Bassett remarked, that he did not think his wife would put a turtle on the table more than once with the feet on it. That accounted for his eating bear instead of turtle. I ate the turtle and preferred it to the bear meat....." --Nathan Butler BIOGRAPHY: J. B. Bassett, Indian Agent, wrote on Feb 25th, 1905: "...The Beaulieus were a remarkably bright family. Paul Beaulieu was an exceptional man, of a vivid imagination and good heart, and gifted with pleanty of brain power. He was an orator and had mastered the English, French and Ojibway languages perfectly." --J. B. Bassett. BIOGRAPHY: Mrs. Julia Spears wrote: "Mr. Paul Beaulieu was one of the first settlers, and was government farmer during the first two years of the settlement of White Earth Resservation. he ploughtd and made the first garden in White Earth. During his life he was always a very prominent man. He died in 1907, leaving a widow, two sons and two daughters, all married and with families; Mrs. A. A. Ledeboer, Mrs. Elizabeth Mackintosh and Truman Beaulieu having their homes at White Earth, and Clement Beaulieu, the younger, who resides at Red Lake." 1880-CENSUS: 1880 US Census Census Place: White Earth Agency, Becker, Minnesota Source: FHL Film 1254615 National Archives Film T9-0615 Page 145D Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace P.
