  General Notes:

CAMPBELL, JOSEPH - Joseph, eldest son of Scott Campbell of St. Paul, was born at Fort Snelling in about 1823. He was at Yellow Medicine when the outbreak that led to the Mankato executions of 1862 occurred, and was forced by the Indians against his will to accompany them. In a later trial, Joseph Campbell was adjudged innocent of any complicity in the killings, and, in fact, by his kindnesses and aid to prisoners, actually was deserving of praise. He also wrote the letters from Little Crow to General Sibley which led to the negotiations by which the white prisoners were released. [Williams, J. Fletcher.
