Hawkins County

Jack Johnson thinks he's lucked out when he lands the job as Juvenile Probation Officer in Hawkins County right after he graduates from college. He soon discovers a world of wasted lives and senseless deaths among the county's young, and the prospects for change are challenging. But this is more that a caseload study. "Hawkins County" is pure 1970s nostalgia and it's all here; the TV shows, the tunes, WDGY out of the twin cities,Wolfman Jack, crime and delinquency, small town justice, Vietnam, even a visit to the top movie of 1970, Love Story with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal, remember? Enjoy your trip back to the 1970s!

Blood on the Prairie A Novel of the Sioux Uprising, Dakota Conflict, American Civil war

"Toby Ryker, chief scout for the Sixth Minnesota, is a red-headed, half white-half Chippewa man. Living life to the brim, he would rather ride the prairies than plow them. But his Sioux neighbors, despairing a life of near starvation and broken treaties, rise up like a prairie whirlwind in September 1862. They mercilessly ravage the frontier, killing more than 1,000 settlers on Indian lands in the greatest storm of death rivaled only by the Civil War battles decimating the South. Ryker must remain loyal to the Army, aid his Indian kinsman or just stand aside. When the outgunned Sioux surrender, Ryker is left with one more bitter duty. Somehow he must find words to comfort the sorrowing wives of the 38 warriors who are condemned to hang." WILLIAM GARWOOD - TRUE WEST MAGAZINE MAY 2009

Blood on the Prairie, A Novel of the Sioux Uprising, Dakota Conflict, American Civil War

The sesquicentennial of the Dakota Conflict officially ended on December 26, 2012, exactly 150 years after the execution of 38 Sioux Warriors at Mankato MN. This dark period in American history still has an impact on all Americans, white and Indian alike. We will continue to publish information about the uprising in this blog in the months to come. Your questions and comments are welcome.

In the words of the Dakota concerning the Dakota Conflict: "Forgive everybody everything."
We honor all victims of the Dakota Conflict
We forgive the crimes committed by our ancestors
We support efforts at reconciliation between the white and Indian cultures.
