| Item Description | Melvin Grigsby writes to George A. and William B. King on February 6, 1907 responding to previous posts concerning the case in which Mr. Grigsby is involved. The case centers on the issue of payments Grigsby received from the government while he was away from his position in Alaska. In this letter Grigsby argues against the idea that he held official territorial status in Alaska. Because Alaska was not recognized by section 1884 of U.S. law the cases previously cited do not apply. |
| Collection Description | This is part of the larger Melvin Grigsby Collection available at the Center for Western Studies. The collection consists of correspondence, legal documents, photographs, and miscellaneous items reflecting Colonel Melvin Grigsby's military career. A number of the documents focus specifically on Colonel Grigsby's responsibility for organizing the Third US Volunteer Cavalry, known as Grigsby's Cowboys, during the Spanish-American War. |
