  Armstrong, Moses K., 1832-1906; fourth delegate in Congress from Dakota
Territory; born in Milan, Ohio, September 19; graduate of Western Reserve
College; civil engineer; settled at Yankton, 1859; member of legislatures of
1862, 1863, 1866 and 1867; was speaker of the house in 1863 and president of the
council in 1867; he was elected to congress in 1871 and served until 1875, after
which he settled in the banking business in St. James, Minnesota, where he spent
the remainder of his life. Perhaps his best service was to history. In 1866 he
published a brief history of Dakota, and in 1901 under the title "Early Empire
Builders of the Great West," he republished it in an attractive volume of 456
pages, including with it extensive correspondence he had written in the early
days from Dakota to eastern papers, especially giving close up views of the
first legislature.
