Download or read book The Minnesota Massacre and Sioux War Of 1862 63 written by A. P. Connolly and published by . This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eyewitness account of Indian warfare during the American Civil War For anyone interested in the history of the American West-and the wars against the Plains Indian tribes in particular-this book will be a delight. The author enlisted in the Union Army to fight in the American Civil War, but instead of marching eastwards to fight the soldiers of the southern Confederacy he found himself involved in the bitter and savage campaigns against the Sioux and their allies in Minnesota. Readers may be familiar with the Plains Indian wars of the post Civil War period, dominated by the doomed figure of George Armstrong Custer, but whilst the 'boy general' was gaining fame with his Michigan cavalry brigade, the desperately under protected and vulnerable frontier settlements had to fight off sustained and overwhelming attacks by hostile Indians. Fort Ridgeley was dangerously besieged and the small town of New Ulm was so fiercely attacked and surrounded that there was the potential for massacre the like of which was unprecedented. Connelly tells his story in a way that conveys the immediacy of events; with him the reader will experience the close fought fight at Birch Coolie and the Battle of Wood Lake. The year of 1863 saw the Minnesota troops on campaign again fighting at the battles of Big Mound, Buffalo Lake and Stony Lake. While the Civil War continued many miles from the troubled frontiers of westward expansion, 1864 brought more campaigning against hostile tribes for Connelly that culminated in the Battle of the Bad Lands. The author's narrative is added to by the inclusion of panoramic battlefield drawings which usefully assist the reader's understanding. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
Download or read book A Sioux Story of the War written by Wamditanka and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On 17th August, 1862, the Dakota Sioux rose up and decided to drive out white settlers from the area. Over the next two months they made extensive attacks on hundreds of settlers and immigrants, which in a large number of deaths, and caused many to flee the area. Much has been written of the Sioux uprising of 1862, particularly from the perspective of white settlers and soldiers who put down the Dakota outbreak, such as A. P. Connolly's A thrilling narrative of the Minnesota massacre and the Sioux war of 1862-63, Isaac V. D. Heard's History of the Sioux war and massacres of 1862 and 1863 and Harriet Bishop's Dakota war whoop: or, Indian massacres and war in Minnesota, of 1862-3. It is rare that we are actually able to gain insight from the perspective of a Native American participant who is able to answer questions such as why the uprising began and how the war was fought. Chief Big Eagle's short book A Sioux Story of the War therefore provides unique insight into this ferocious conflict that erupted at the end of 1862. R. I. Holcombe, the editor and compiler of this book, interviewed Chief Big Eagle at Flandreau, South Dakota, and was able to shed light upon the war from a Sioux perspective. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the west and conflicts that erupted between white settlers and the Native American tribes."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Massacre in Minnesota written by Gary Clayton Anderson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1862 the worst massacre in U.S. history unfolded on the Minnesota prairie, launching what has come to be known as the Dakota War, the most violent ethnic conflict ever to roil the nation. When it was over, between six and seven hundred white settlers had been murdered in their homes, and thirty to forty thousand had fled the frontier of Minnesota. But the devastation was not all on one side. More than five hundred Indians, many of them women and children, perished in the aftermath of the conflict; and thirty-eight Dakota warriors were executed on one gallows, the largest mass execution ever in North America. The horror of such wholesale violence has long obscured what really happened in Minnesota in 1862—from its complicated origins to the consequences that reverberate to this day. A sweeping work of narrative history, the result of forty years’ research, Massacre in Minnesota provides the most complete account of this dark moment in U.S. history. Focusing on key figures caught up in the conflict—Indian, American, and Franco- and Anglo-Dakota—Gary Clayton Anderson gives these long-ago events a striking immediacy, capturing the fears of the fleeing settlers, the animosity of newspaper editors and soldiers, the violent dedication of Dakota warriors, and the terrible struggles of seized women and children. Through rarely seen journal entries, newspaper accounts, and military records, integrated with biographical detail, Anderson documents the vast corruption within the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the crisis that arose as pioneers overran Indian lands, the failures of tribal leadership and institutions, and the systemic strains caused by the Civil War. Anderson also gives due attention to Indian cultural viewpoints, offering insight into the relationship between Native warfare, religion, and life after death—a nexus critical to understanding the conflict. Ultimately, what emerges most clearly from Anderson’s account is the outsize suffering of innocents on both sides of the Dakota War—and, identified unequivocally for the first time, the role of white duplicity in bringing about this unprecedented and needless calamity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lavina Eastlick's story is one episode in the history of the bloodiest massacre of the West." - Captured by the Indians (1985) "The resolute mother, badly wounded and left for dead, revived...and with sublime courage started for a place of safety." -A Thrilling Narrative of the Minnesota Massacre (1896) "Eastlick's story is seen by whites as the prototypical heroic story of a woman during the war." - Six Weeks in the Sioux Tepees (2002) "John Eastlick handed his wife a large butcher's knife and told her not to hesitate to use it if necessary." -Over The Earth I Come: The Great Sioux Uprising of 1862 (1993) How did this heroic Minnesota pioneer woman survive four musket ball wounds and being beaten and left for dead, to eventually reunite with her two surviving children after a harrowing journey? In 1864, Lake Shetek Massacre survivor Lavina Day Eastlick (1833-1923) would publish a chilling first-hand narrative of her fight for survival in her book titled "Thrilling Incidents of the Indian War of 1862: Being a Personal Narrative of the Outrages and Horrors Witnessed by Mrs. L. Eastlick in Minnesota." In what would eventually be known as the Lake Shetek Massacre, on August 20, 1862, about 40 Dakota Sioux men and at least one woman attacked Minnesota settlers living nearby, killing 15 and taking a dozen women and children captive. In introducing her book, Eastlick writes: "I have given merely a plain, unvarnished statement of all the facts that came under my own observation, during the dreadful massacre of the settlers in Minnesota. Mine was only a single case among hundreds of similar instances. It is only from explicit and minute accounts from the pen of the sufferers themselves, that people living at this distance from the scene of those atrocities can arrive at any just and adequate conception of the...the extremities of pain, terror and distress endured by the victims." Interestingly, Eastlick describes a paranormal encounter with a red orb that occurred right after the attack.
Download or read book The Sioux Uprising of 1862 written by Kenneth Carley and published by Minnesota Historical Society Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Civil War raged in the East and South, Dakota Indians in Minnesota erupted violently into action against white settlers, igniting the tragic Dakota War of 1862. Hemmed in on a narrow reservation along the upper Minnesota River, the Dakota (Sioux) were frustrated by broken treaties, angered by dishonest agents and traders, and near starvation because of crop failures and late annuity payments. Led by Little Crow, Dakota warriors attacked the Redwood and Yellow Medicine Indian agencies and all whites living on their former lands in south-western Minnesota. They killed more than 450 whites and took some 250 white and mixed-blood prisoners during the 38-day conflict. White civilians and military units commanded by Henry H. Sibley defended towns and forts, pursued warriors, and eventually forced the Indians to surrender or flee westward. The penalties imposed by vengeful whites were swift and devastating. The federal government hanged 38 Dakota men in the largest mass execution in US history, 300 were imprisoned, and the Dakota people were banished from the state. This is the most accessible and balanced account available which draws on a wealth of written and visual materials by white and Indian participants and observers to show the sources of the Dakotas' justified and bitter wrath -- and the terrible consequences of the conflict.--Amazon.com.
