Synopsis

During the Civil War years, settlers in southwestern Minnesota endured a violent uprising by Dakota warriors. About 600 settlers and an unknown number of Dakota died. Only about 200 of the known victims currently lie in marked graves. This book locates, identifies, and records those gravesites as a unique and vivid way of telling the story of the Uprising. A narrative, telling each victim's story, accompanies each photographed gravestone or marker. These gravestones stand as stark, mute reminders of this turbulent and violent period in Minnesota's history. This book does not simply recount an historical episode. It also honors the participants, giving voice to their experiences, and conveys the first-rate detective work of tracking down the gravesites.
