Blood on the Prairie - A Novel of the Sioux Uprising
FEEDBACK APPRECIATED
"Toby Ryker, chief scout of the Sixth Minnesota, is a red-headed, half white-half Chippewa man. Living life to the brim, he would rather ride the prairies than plough them. But his Sioux neighbors, despairing a life of near starvation and broken treaties, rise up like a prairie whirlwind in September 1862. They mercilessly ravage the frontier, killing more than 1,000 settlers on Indian lands in the greatest storm of death rivaled only by the Civil War battles decimating the South. Ryker must remain loyal to the army, aid his Indian kinsman or just stand aside. When the outgunned Sioux surrender, Ryker is left with still one more bitter duty. Somehow he must find words to comfort the sorrowing wives of the 38 warriors who are condemned to hang" William Garwood - TRUE WEST MAGAZINE - May 2009.
2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the Dakota Conflict, or great Sioux uprising of 1862 in Minnesota, which was part of the American Civil War. The Dakota Conflict produced the most civilian casualties in an Indian war in U.S. history and resulted in the mass hanging of 38 Sioux warriors at Mankato MN on December 26, 1862, the largest mass execution in U.S. history.
We honor all victims of the Dakota Conflict, we forgive the crimes committed by our ancestors, and we support the healing and reconciliation long-sought by the white and Indian cultures.
