Exactly one hundred and fifty one years ago this month, the great Sioux massacre, or Dakota Conflict as it is now known, occurred in the southwestern section of the new state of Minnesota. More civilian non-combatants were killed than in any other Indian war in U.S. history, 1,000 by the count of Henry Hastings Sibley, leader of the Indian Expedition. On December 26th of 1862, 38 Sioux warriors were hung at Mankato. This remains the largest mass execution in U.S. history.
