Product Description
by Charles S. Bryant (Author), Abel B. Murch (Joint Author)
Indian Massacre in Minnesota was written over 100 years ago by a man whose job was to process claims for property damaged by Sioux raiders after they went on the warpath, killing pioneer families and taking many of those who survived into captivity. He documented the terrifying tales told by settlers of the horrors they suffered. However, to properly present this tragic time, the book begins by giving a brief account of the Sioux Indians; the harsh treatment by our government (who ignored a treaty that promised $2 million for their land), their living conditions on the reservations and their complaints. The resulting account of the massacres and conspiracy by the great chief Little Crow is also described, along with the personal accounts of the survivors.
