A compelling biography for young readers that traces the life of the Dakota leader Taoyateduta Little Crow and his role in the U.
Just as significant but less often mentioned is Taoyateduta, known to whites as Little Crow, the reluctant leader of Dakota warriors during the U. In this carefully researched biography of the Dakota leader, the first ever written for children, author Gwenyth Swain presents a compelling portrait of the leader, warrior, and politician at the center of the Dakota War of Taoyateduta agreed to lead the battles, knowing that the U.
In retribution for the thirty-eight-day war, thirty-eight Dakota men were hanged, thousands were imprisoned, and the Dakota people were expelled from the state. Little Crow: Leader of the Dakota offers a clear and accessible account of both the man who led the Dakota into war and the causes behind that wrenching conflict. Published in two parts in the s and written by the men who fought in battle, Minnesota in the Civil and Indian Wars contains regimental rosters names lists with ages, muster dates, transfers, and remarks as well as detailed narratives describing the wartime service of each regiment, battery, battalion, and brigade — their marches, campaigns, battles, surrenders, wounded lists, furloughs, reenlistments, and return to Minnesota.
Letters, telegrams, and descriptions related to the development of the Dakota War, including dispatches written from the field, offer a personal face to this wartime history. Included for the first time is a page index to all the regimental rosters, making this an invaluable research tool.
Minnesota's Heritage is a journal containing articles on diverse aspects of the development of the state of Minnesota, with emphasis on the broad Minnesota River Valley, and based on objective research and analysis. Much of the focus on the Dakota people in Minnesota rests on the tragic events of the U. But the true depth of the devastation of removal cannot be understood without a closer examination of the history of the Dakota people and their deep cultural connection to the land that is Minnesota. Drawing on oral history interviews, archival work, and painstaking comparisons of Dakota, French, and English sources, Mni Sota Makoce tells the detailed history of the Dakota people in their traditional homelands for at least hundreds of years prior to exile.
Dakota history did not begin with the U. Mni Sota Makoce is, more than anything, a celebration of the Dakota people through their undisputed connection to this place, Minnesota, in the past, present, and future. Hundreds of lives were lost on both sides, and the war ended with the execution of thirty-eight Dakotas on December 26, , in Mankato, Minnesota—the largest mass execution in American history.
In North Country: The Making of Minnesota , Mary Lethert Wingerd unlocks the complex origins of the state—origins that have often been ignored in favor of legend and a far more benign narrative of immigration, settlement, and cultural exchange. Moving from the earliest years of contact between Europeans and the indigenous peoples of the western Great Lakes region to the era of French and British influence during the fur trade and beyond, Wingerd charts how for two centuries prior to official statehood Native people and Europeans in the region maintained a hesitant, largely cobeneficial relationship.
Founded on intermarriage, kinship, and trade between the two parties, this racially hybridized society was a meeting point for cultural and economic exchange until the western expansion of American capitalism and violation of treaties by the U. North Country is the unflinching account of how the land the Dakota named Mini Sota Makoce became the State of Minnesota and of the people who have called it, at one time or another, home.
Mary Lethert Wingerd is associate professor of history at St. Cloud State University. An even-handed and highly readable account of the culture clash the led to the U. A thoughtful account of the U. His ancestors were driven out of Minnesota after the conflict, even though they opposed the war and actually helped some settlers escape the bloodshed.
This thoughtful account of the cultural and historical factors that led to the conflict is the result of a quest for his ancestry which he began while working toward a doctorate in sociology at South Dakota State University. Oscar Malmros, Minnesota's Adjutant General, reported twice to the Minnesota Legislature on the military aspects of what he called the Sioux War, better known today as the Dakota Conflict of In these reprints, he discusses how troops were recruited and dispersed to the frontier, his difficulties in profiding arms and ammunition, and the relationships between the State Militia and the troops recruited for additional service in the South as part of the Union Army.
He also identifies each of the local militia units and their officers. In general, he provides an objective framework with which to view reports from his contemporaries for the events. Malmros' concise, well-written reports reveal his intelligence and education. He assumed the post of Adjutant General in , and remained in that post for the duration of the Civil War, when he began a series of assignments to various United States consulates around the world.
A brief biography and an index are included with his reports. Here is their story, told through living descendants of the captives and their rescuers, who met after nearly years of separation. In , Sarah F. Wakefield, a doctor's young wife with two small children, suddenly found herself caught up in the Dakota War in Minnesota.

In a compelling voice, she relates the ordal, particularly the heroism of the Mdewakanton Dakota man Chaska We-Chank-Wash-ta-don-pee , who protected Wakefield and her children during the upheaval only to be rewarded by the United States government with death by hanging. During ensuing investigations, Wakefield boldly held the government responsible for the war and its casualties.
June Namia's extensive introduction and notes describe the historical and ethnographic background of Dakota-whte relations in Minnesota and place Wakefield's narrative within the context of other captivity narratives. Her Swedish American father was a salesman at Sears and her mother drove her brothers to baseball practice and went to parent-teacher conferences.
So she traveled to South Dakota and Nebraska, searching out records of her relatives through six generations, hungering to know their stories. She began to write a haunting account of the lives of her Dakota Indian family, based on research, to recreate their oral history that was lost, or repressed, or simply set aside as gritty issues of survival demanded attention.
Spirit Car is an exquisite counterpoint of memoir and carefully researched fiction, a remarkable narrative that ties modern Minnesotans to the trauma of the Dakota War. In April — after the U. Dakota War of , after the hanging of thirty-eight Dakota men in the largest mass execution in U. Separated from their wives, children, and elder relatives, with inadequate shelter, they lived there for three long, wretched years.
More than men died. Desperate to connect with their families, many of these prisoners of war learned to write. Their letters, mostly addressed to the missionaries Stephen R. Riggs and Thomas S. Williamson, asked for information, for assistance, and for help sending and receiving news of their loved ones. They are a precious resource for Dakota people learning about the travails their ancestors faced, important primary source documents for historians, and a vital tool for Dakota language learners and linguists.
These haunting documents present a history that has long been unrecognized in this country, in the words of the Dakota people who lived it. Both are retired Presbyterian ministers and enrolled members of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate. A vivid and intimate portrait of Minnesota's 'war within' during the period of the Civil War.
The Dakota Uprising of was the most significant event in Minnesota's history. It was catastrophic in nature, and it profoundly affected all parties involved — white settlers, hostile Dakota, and friendly Dakota. It also significantly affected the Winnebago, who had very limited involvement in the Uprising.
Most of the affected white settlers lived on homesteads or in towns located near the Dakota Reservation along the Minnesota River. They received the brunt of the Dakota assaults. This book contains many observations by Henry H. Sibley and Stephen R. Riggs was a longtime missionary to the Dakota, and accompanied Sibley during much of the Uprising. Both men played a central role in the events of the Uprising and, even more importantly, they documented those observations in numerous contemporary letters and reports.
Their witness of events is indispensable in relating the story of the Uprising. Curtis Dahlin has put a face on the events of the Dakota Uprising, in fusing together hundreds of rare period photographs and an absorbing narrative, brings us a vivid and intimate portrait of Minnesota's 'war within' during the period of the Civil War. Curtis Dahlin, an independent historian specializing in the Dakota Uprising of in Minnesota, has spent thousands of hours and driven many thousands of miles researching and writing about the subject.
Previously, in , he participated in compiling and writing Joel E. He and his wife, Gay, live in Roseville, Minnesota. As the United States fought the Civil War in the early s, the country's western frontier was simultaneously the site of significant and deadly military campaigns. The Dakota campaign against the Sioux was greater in scope, intensity and bloodshed than almost all other Indian battles fought in the West. The wars pushed the Teton Sioux into a long-term resistance that would end only at Wounded Knee in Micheal D.
He lives in Lawrence, Kansas. An account of how a rescue party left the safety of New Ulm hoping to rescue families and neighbors along the Big Cottonwood River, only to return empty-handed and placing themselves in peril.

The rich history and diversity of Sioux culture, from prehistory to the present day, with lessons in cross-cultural understanding. This book places the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux within the broad framework of state and national history. In the Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of the Dakota Indians signed the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, which along with the subsequent Treaty of Mendota, with the Mdewakanton and Wahpekute bands of Dakota, ceded to the United States most of southern and central Minnesota.
This study considers the national and regional background of the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, the treaty's negotiation, provisions and implementation, and its legacy. A verbatim copy of the treaty is included in the appendix. William Lass, History Professor Emeritus at Minnesota State University, taught Minnesota History for over 40 years and published many books, articles, and book reviews throughout his career.

This collection of thirty-six narratives presents the Dakota Indians' experiences during a conflict previously known chiefly from the viewpoints of non-Indians. Of greatest interest is the fact that all the narratives assembled here come from Dakota mixed-bloods and full-bloods. Speaking from a variety of viewpoints and enmeshed in complex webs of allegiances to Indian, white, and mixed-blood kin, these witnesses testify not only to the terrible casualties they all suffered, but also to the ways in which the events of tore at the social, cultural, and psyhic fabrics of their familial and community lives.
