Who Was This Man? Blood on the Prairie A Novel of the Sioux Uprising, Dakota Conflict, American Civil War

This man played a major role in setting off the Dakota Conflict of 1862 in Minnesota during the Civil War. He was Andrew Myrick, a trader on the Dakota reservations. When starving Dakota approached him and begged for food, he replied that if they were hungry, they should eat grass. When the Sioux uprising broke out in August of 1862, Myrick was one of the first to be killed, and his mouth was then stuffed with grass. He paid for his sarcastic comment with his life.

2012 was the 150th anniversary of the Great Sioux Uprising of August, 1862.
