Hi James. I don’t think Dr. Means has a date yet. If you want to inquire, his email is available at his university page linked above. Thanks for listening!

Ok, thanks. Interesting discussion. As one of those pesky settler colonists, the farmer/farming characterization circa 1880s was a bit off. The US population was still 50% ag based, so I don’t think anyone in the Indian Office thought that promoting farming as an occupation was on the way out anytime soon.
