Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Matt Ulmen Blood on the Prairie, Sioux Uprising, Dakota Conflict, Civil War

This is my great-great Uncle Mathias Ulmen and his wife Elizabeth. They lived in Mankato Minnesota in 1862 during the Dakota Conflict, or Great Sioux Uprising as it was called. Uncle Matt built and operated the Union House Hotel, a picture of which was posted a few days ago. The hotel was located within sight of the gallows on which were executed 38 Sioux warriors on December 26, 1862. This was the largest mass execution in U.S. history. The execution was carried out by the Union Army by order of President Lincoln. It was carried out in retaliation for the massacre of 1000 white settlers during the Dakota Conflict in Minnesota. This was the largest massacre of civilian non-combatants in an Indian war in U.S. history. 2012 was the 150th anniversary of the Dakota Conflict.
