Abstract:

Correspondence and diaries of Cutting Marsh, a missionary to the Stockbridge Indians in Wisconsin. Also included are volumes in which Marsh jotted down memoranda on his reflections while a student, his missionary work at Maumee, Ohio, in the winter of 1829-1830, and his eighteen years among the Stockbridge people, with many comments on Indian life, vocabulary, and his own experiences. Diaries, 1830-1848, contain a narrative of his religious work at Statesburg and Stockbridge; and an expedition in the summer of 1834 to the Sauk and Fox Indians at Rock Island and up the Des Moines. Additional diaries, 1848-1856, concern his preaching career in the Wisconsin pineries, with headquarters at Waupaca.
