About this title

Synopsis

A classic chapter of American history?the 1862 Sioux uprising in Minnesota known as the Dakota Conflict?is a compilation of first-hand accounts woven together by a local parish leader, Reverend Alexander Berghold. The uprising and its aftermath are detailed with the skill of a historian and the moral insight of a theologian, positioning the Dakota Conflict squarely in the context of early German-American settlement and distilling the Catholic perspectives of the era.
