I finally got to your blog [following a comment on mine]. It is truly a wonderful piece of work. I was not satisfied by your post on Harry Hummer. While I can appreciate your views of him, I would have liked to read what his obituarist had to say about him. Was what is plain for us to see apparent to others around him? Keep up the good work. I will look for your book.

I’m sorry–I’ll try to find out what’s wrong with the page. I’d be happy to answer any questions I can.

I’m afraid I don’t know of any specific site that might help, but perhaps you can contact a tribal website for some leads. I did not get involved in tracing people outside the archives I researched–which had very little information about individuals, unfortunately. I wish you luck in your search.

The contact page doesn’t appear to be working. I am researching St. Elizabeths Hospital and came across a box of papers yesterday at the National Arhives about Canton and have a question or two for you. Can you you email me at your convenience? thomas [dot] otto [at] gsa [dot] gov

I definitely found that no one seemed to know about the asylum. I lived in South Dakota for four years (a long time ago) and never heard of it, then, either. I think that there is a little more awareness now, thanks to your own efforts and some of the websites which have sprung up to discuss it. I don’t have a good feel for how much the typical Native American knows about the asylum, though I’ve found a surprising degree of interest in insane asylums in general.
