    2. I found the following info in a book titled, "Hampton Institute Records". This book contains information of 15 Indian men students who attended Hampton Institute, Virginia from April 1878 to October 1890, that were released from Fort Marion, Florida. This was the first involvement of Hampton Institute with the education of Native Americans. Bibliographic Information: HAMPTON INSTITUTE RECORDS. Histree Publication. As Follows: Page 22 Joseph Estes (No. 100, M.). Left after three years from the middle class. Taught a year, managed the printing office of an Indian paper for two years, and went to the Santee Normal school to do similar work there on the English edition of the same paper. He had trouble with the manager and left. Since then he has been teacher, organist, surveyor's assistant, agency farmer, and is now regular interpreter at the Lower Brul Agency. Page 33 Alexander Estes (No. 229, M.). A very bright and promising young man, but broke down very suddenly one summer and died the next February. George Estes (No. 230, M.). The youngest of a large family. He returned after three years and has spent considerable time floating about. In 1889 he took land and has made some improvements on it. He is now clerk in a trader's store, but ought to be in school. Page 55 Rsum of Indian students returned to their homes Name on Hampton Indian Name. Blood*. Age. Father's name. Tribe. Records.
