John Beach

Major
John Beach (January 1, 1812 – August 31, 1874) was a
United States Army officer during the
Black Hawk and
American Civil War. He was the last U.S. Indian Agent to the
Sac and Fox tribes. A son-in-law to General
Joseph Street, Beach succeeded him as agent to the Sac and Fox upon Street's death, and he eventually hosted the week-long council that resulted in the signing of the treaty for the purchase of much of Iowa from the Sac and Fox Indians in October 1842.
