edition), pp. 274-282, 340.
[360] Judge Charles E. Flandrau in _The Ink-pa-du-ta Massacre of 1857_
in the _Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society_, Vol. III, p.
399, has this to say of Mrs. Marble after leaving St. Paul, Minnesota:
“The bank [where her money had been placed] failed, and that was the
end of Mrs. Marble so far as I know, except that I heard that she
exhibited herself at the East, in the role of the rescued captive, and
the very last information I had of her, was, that she went up in a
balloon at New Orleans. I leave to future historians the solution of
the problem, whether she ever came down again?”
