    Mrs. Cayton and her children, in 1921. Paralyzed at age 35, this “very intelligent woman” kept a “very comfortable one room house” with the help of her children and her community.

    A family portrait. Mrs. Cayton sits on a bench, wrapped in a shawl, holding an infant on her lap. A teenaged boy wearing a newsboy cap and a suit stands behind the bench. A preteen girl wearing a stocking hat with her dress and cardigan sits next to her mother.
    MRS. JOE CAYTON Allottee No. 97 Age 39 Degree Full Status Fee Pat. Family Husb. & 5 children Home at Heart Butte station. No horses, no cattle, no chickens. Has wheat, plans garden. Is an invalid. Children in good health. Husband deserted her. Picture taken at Heart Butte of Mrs. Cayton and children May 22, 1921. Date of survey - - - - - - - - April 29, 1921 22
    MRS. JOE CAYTON After lunch the same party proceeded to visit Indian homes nearer the sub-agency, the first one being that of Mrs. Joe Cayton. This is a woman who was paralyzed four years ago. She is a very intelligent woman and has a family of four girls and one boy. The oldest girl is in the Chemawa Indian school, the next oldest is at home helping to take care of the mother, the boy is at school at Dupuyer, and there is a baby in the home eight months old acknowledged by the husband. Her husband has practically deserted her for the last three years and is now reported to be living with Mrs. Eliza Rutherford, a mixed blood woman, in the town of Dupuyer. I think both of these people, Mr. Cayton and Mrs. Rutherford, have patents in fee and so far as we know are living in the town as man and wife. This is another case similar to that of Frank Choate, previously mentioned, only more serious because of the helpless condition of the wife. [full transcription at link]

    This letter argues that Chinese immigrants to the US should be able to leave the country and return, regardless of their assets or profession, in 1901

    Mr. Secretary:- Your present visit to the Pacific Coast seems to me an opportune time to address you on a portion of the Chinese Exclusion Act that has for years past, appeared to me foreign to the traditions and principles of this Country. I refer to that portion relative to those privileged to visit their native land and return to this country. As you know, the present privileged class is quite a small one, merchants, some few professionals and those showing assets of $1000.00, (which last qualification is practically a dead letter.) Now it appears to me unjust that a distinction should be drawn between classes in a matter that appeals to one's humanity, most of the Chinese men in this Country having wives and families in China, and unless they belong to the privilege class, they cannot visit them and return.

    Let each person on departure deposit his Certificate of Residence with the port Custom Authorities, receiving in exchange a receipt sufficiently explicit to ensure identification with the original, without giving the personal description of the owner, in this way minimizing successful impersonation. Let the person on production of receipt and proving his identity, according to the Certificate deposited, receive back his Certificate, and land. [full transcription at link]

    A map that has been rolled but then squashed to about half its length. It looks very crunchy and difficult to open. Nearby is the tube that it had been stored inside.

    “When [Native American] pupils have finished the fourth-grade work, or are 14 years old . . . they should be transferred to some nonreservation school . . . . ”, in 1911

    EXTRACT FROM CIRCULAR 464--AUGUST 16, 1910 This is the blank referred to in Section XI.) __________ I. All healthy children of school age, 5 to 18, should be placed in some school--day, reservation, boarding, nonreservation, public, or mission. The Office desires that Superintendents consider this matter of special importance. IV. When pupils have finished the fourth-grade work, or are 14 years old, and in good health and capable of further advancement, which they can not obtain in accessible public schools, they should be transferred to some nonreservation school with the written consent of the parents, or, if neither are living, then with the written consent of the next of kin. In arranging for transfers to nonreservation schools, accessibility, climate, and courses of study offered should be considered. [full transcription at link]

    National Security Council Memorandum Regarding the Lessons of Vietnam, in 1975

    MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: HENRY A. KISSINGER SUBJECT: Lessons of Vietnam At your request, I have prepared some thoughts on the "lessons of Vietnam" for your consideration and for your background information in dealing with further press questions on the subject. It is remarkable, considering how long the war lasted and how intensely it was reported and commented, that there are really not very many lessons. From our experience in Vietnam that can be usefully applied elsewhere despite the obvious temptation to try. Vietnam represented a unique situation, geographically, ethically, politically, militarily and diplomatically. We should probably be grateful for that and should recognize it for what it is, instead of trying to apply the "lessons of Vietnam" as universally as we once tried to apply the "lessons of Munich".

    In early May, 16 U.S. soldiers died in battle with Mexican forces. President Polk asked Congress for a declaration of war in 1846: “In further vindication of our rights and defence of our territory, I invoke the prompt action of Congress . . . “

    Louisiana for four regiments of infantry to be sent to him as soon as practicable. In further vindication of our rights and defence of our territory, I invoke the prompt action of Congress to recognize the existence of the War and [inserted] to place at the disposition of the Executive, the means of prosecuting the war with vigor and thus hastening the restoration of peace. To this end I recommend that authority should be given to call into the public service a large body of volunteers to serve for not less than six or twelve months, unless sooner discharged. A volunteer force is beyond question more efficient than any other description of citizen soldiers: and it is not to be doubted that a number far beyond that required, would readily rush to the field upon the call of their country. I further recommend that a liberal provision be made for sustaining { { over
