Indian Wills, 1911-1921. Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs: Book Two

Description

This is the second book compiled by Jeff Bowen in a series of Native American sources based on records submitted by Native Americans to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The author, who was responsible for having the National Archives microfilm the collection, has here transcribed an additional 180 manuscript pages consisting of 101 verbatim wills for this volume. As a rule, the documents identify the names of the testator, residence, heirs, a description of any real estate transferred in the will, names of executors and witnesses, and other particulars commonly found in probate records.
