Ironic Imperialist at Pine Ridge 1900 Memoirs
A fragment from Joilings by Jenkins at Pine Ridge Agency South Dakota dated Oct 19 1900 recounts an official amused by his 7 000 wards and 73 police while serving as a multi role administrator for Uncle Sam on a large reservation. He notes schooling cattle distribution and a busy life amid political campaign talk about McKinley Bryan and imperialism with references to Estherville Oregon and local officials.
