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 Red Cloud written by S. D. Nelson and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Readers will appreciate this complex look at Chief Red Cloud, who under duress, unimaginable trauma, and starvation made a difficult choice.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Red Cloud (1822–1909) was a great warrior and chief of the Lakota. Told from his perspective, Red Cloud: A Lakota Story of War and Surrender describes the events that brought him to prominence as a leader of his people and how he came to surrender them to the wasichus (White Man), ending their way of life on the Great Plains. From the intrusion of white settlers into Lakota territory, to the treaties signed with the U.S. government, and to the many subsequent battles, Red Cloud explains how the Lakota became the only nation to win a war against the U.S. Army on American soil. However, unlike fellow warriors Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, Red Cloud eventually came to accept the inevitable advance of white civilization. He submitted to change and moved his followers onto a reservation. The story concludes with Red Cloud’s trip to the East Coast, where he visited New York City and met President Ulysses S. Grant. Award-winning author and member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe S. D. Nelson reinterprets the nineteenth-century Lakota ledger-art style to give authenticity to the story as he brings to light one of the most controversial members of the Lakota tribe, Red Cloud. Backmatter includes a timeline. “An impressive amount of information movingly and handsomely conveyed.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The story, at once inspiring and sad, is expanded and enriched by Nelson’s beautiful ink, watercolor, and colored-pencil illustrations executed in the nineteenth-century Lakota ledger-book style.” —Booklist (starred review)
Download or read book The War with the Sioux written by Karl Skarstein and published by Digital Press at the University of North Dakota, T. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dakota War (1862-1864) stands among the most overlooked conflicts in American History. Contemporary with the American Civil War, the Dakota War featured significant fighting, tactical brilliance, and strategic savvy set in the open plains of Minnesota and North Dakota. Karl Jakob Starstein's The War with the Sioux tells the story of the Norwegian immigrants, American soldiers, and Lakota and Dakota Indians as they fought to protect their families, communities, and way of life. Translated from Norwegian and supplemented with new introductions by Melissa Gjellstad, Richard Rothaus, and Dakota Goodhouse, this work draws upon the diaries, letters, and newpapers of Norwegian immigrants for a new perspective on the Northern Plains during these tumultuous years. Skarstein's work makes an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship on this conflict and offers an accessible and surprisingly intimate view of the conflict through the eyes of Norwegian settlers in the region.

Download or read book The Dakota War written by Micheal Clodfelter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States fought the Civil War in the early 1860s, the country's western frontier was simultaneously the site of significant military campaigns that took the lives of both American and Sioux. The Dakota campaign, led by Commander Henry Hastings Sibley and Brigadier General Alfred Sully against the Sioux between 1863 and 1864 was greater in scope, intensity and bloodshed than almost all other Indian battles fought in the West but is often overlooked. The Minnesota War of 1862 and the Dakota War of 1863-1865 were among the most significant U.S. victories in the Indian wars, but did not temper the passions of the Sioux to preserve their people and land or the desires of the whites to settle the frontier. The wars only incited the Teton Sioux to enter into a long-term resistance that would end only at Wounded Knee in 1890.
