Some of the principal authorities upon which this section is based are
indicated in the text. Of those not mentioned there, the Eighteenth Annual
Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, the treaties made with the Indians, and
the article by Miss Anna Heloise Abel in Volume VIII, Kansas Historical
Collections, were of most service and most frequently consulted. The
article of Mrs. Ida M. Ferris, "The Sauks and Foxes in Franklin and Osage
Counties, Kansas." in Volume XI, Kansas Historical Collections, I found of
much value.
The Handbook of American Indians, by the Bureau of American Ethnology I
found indispensable.
Holcomb's History of Vernon County, Missouri, is scholarly and accurate.
It had much on the Osage Indians.
The various maps and manuscripts in the Library of the Kansas State
Historical Society contain information not to be found elsewhere.
