Thomas J. Galbraith

Thomas J. Galbraith

Thomas J. Galbraith was an American politician. In 1857, he signed the Republican version of the Minnesota State Constitution. He served the 18th district in the Minnesota State Senate in 1861, living in Scott County at the time. In 1862, Galbraith was working as an agent for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the Lower Sioux Agency, succeeding Joseph R. Brown in the post.

On August 15, he was involved in a confrontation between some Dakota tribesmen, U.S. troops, and local traders. Galbraith refused to distribute food to the Indians. A comment by Andrew Myrick incensed them, one of many causes of the Dakota War of 1862 that began two days later. Myrick was killed on August 18, though Galbraith apparently escaped. He is said to have died in Cheyenne, Wyoming some years later.
