Description	Papers focus on several Tlingits from Angoon, Admiralty Island, 1878-1911 when the Navy was in charge of the territory. Two letters and the "lost" note relate to the bombardment of Angoon by the Navy vessel U.S.S. Adams in 1882; also mentions the Indian Police Force. Several letters are "skookum papers" since they provide a testament to the good character of the bearer.
