Forty-One Years in Court for New York Indians Case
Attorney James B. Jenkins of Onalaska has won a United States Supreme Court decision in the New York Indians land case. The suit stemmed from a treaty that transferred Wisconsin lands and 1 824 000 acres in Indian territory now Kansas to the United States for 423 000. Kansas squatters later took the land and proceeds went to the treasury. Jenkins has fought the case since 1868, paying about 25 000 in costs, and the ruling marks the culmination of his lifelong work.
