 Includes NotesNotes for Lyman Warren:
!LCCN: E99.C6W32 (1984 Reprint), "History of the Ojibway People," p.9-11, born
in Berkshire, Massachusetts. He came to the Lake Superior region in 1818, with
his brother Truman A., younger than himself, to engage in the fur trade. The
U.S. Government having some time before enacted that no one, not a citizen of
the United States, should engage in the fur trade, the British subjects, who
were engaged in that trade, employed American clerks to take charge of their
posts. The Warren brothers entered the service of Cadotte, Michael, an old
trader among the Ojibways at La Pointe, and soon became a great favorite with
the Ojibways [sic]. In 1821, each of the brothers married a daughter of
Cadotte, and in 1832, the latter sold out all his trading outfit to them, and
retired from the business. Brunsen, Rev. Alfred, in his autobiographical
reminiscences, entitled 'A Western Pioneer,' states that 'Lyman M. Warren
traded for several years in the Lac du Flambeau, Lac Coutereille and Saint
Croix Departments, in opposition to the American Fur Company. He then entered
into an arrangement with them and took charge of those three departments as
partner and chief factor under a salary, making his depot at La Pointe. This
arrangement continued until 1834.' La Pointe appears to have been his
permanent residence until his death [sic]. ... Mr. Warren was an adherent of
the common evangelical belief, and a member of the Pressbyterian Church.
Boutwell, Rev. Wm. T., says 'I knew him as a good Christina man, and as one
desirous of giving his children the benefits of a Christian education.' Ayer,
Mrs. says, 'He was among the first to invite American missionaries into the
region of Lake Superior, and he assisted them as he had opportunity, not only
by his influence, but sometimes by his purse. He united with the mission
church at Mackinaw,' Rev. Mr. Brunson, who visited him in 1843, says, 'Mr.
Warren had a large and select library, an unexpected sight in an Indian
country, containing some books that I had never before seen. After dissolving
his connection with the American Fur Company, probably about the year 1838,
he removed to the Chippewa River, Wisconsin, where he had been appointed as
a farmer, blacksmith, and sub-agent to the Ojibways, in that reservation. He
located his post at a point a few miles above Chippewa Falls, at a place now
known as Chippewa City. Her, in connection with Brunett, Jean, he built a
saw-mill and opened a farm, which was soon furnished with commodious
buildings. His wife died there JUL 21, 1843, and he took her remains to La
Pointe for interment. Mr. Warren died at La Pointe, around the age of 53.
