RARE JOURNAL OF LAWS PASSED IN THE SECOND YEAR AS A TERRITORY. Session laws of the Territory of Dakota were published after each regular and special legislative session and contain the laws enacted during that session. The present example includes a list of members and officers of the Council of the Second Legislature of the Territory of Dakota, a Council Journal, and a General Index. The Dakota Territory was created by an act of Congress on March 2, 1861. The Dakota Territory was not directly involved in the American Civil War, but did raise troops to defend settlements following the Dakota War of 1862.  VERY RARE: OCLC locates only 1 copy of this journal, held by the American Antiquarian Society.
