Blood on the Prairie: A Novel of the Sioux Uprising, Dakota Conflict, American Civil War.
Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley, leader of the Indian Expedition during the Dakota Conflict of 1862, described the massacre of settlers in these words. Quoted from the Ancestry Life and Times of H.H. Sibley.
Note the casualty figures he uses. Not only did the Dakota Conflict result in the greatest loss of civilian life in an Indian war in U.S. history, but after it was over, the largest mass execution in U.S. history, 38 Dakota warriors, in my home town of Mankato Minnesota.
