Howell), financial records, legal documents, a reclamation map, and clippings. TONGUE RIVER INDIAN AGENCY materials include two diaries or logs of daily activities and reports for the agency school and an inventory volume (including photographs) for the U.S. government buildings at the agency. These volumes also mention activities, personnel, etc., of the Crow Indian Agency. The MISCELLANY SUBGROUP contains an unidentified ledger, scrapbook, and pamphlets.
