History of the Spirit Lake Massacre: And Captivity of Miss. Abbie Gardner (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from History of the Spirit Lake Massacre: And Captivity of Miss. Abbie Gardner
It was with a great degree of embarrassment that I assented to the various invitations extended to me, to place upon record the recollections of my youth, and group the incidents for a history of that tragic event, generally known as the "Spirit Lake Massacre," which so far had gone unwritten, and, no progress made in that direction.
Believing that a local history of this lovely lake region is demanded, on account of its becoming the favorite summer resort in the great northwest: and because the awful events of the massacre transpired here, I have, amid physical ills which have disqualified me for the active pursuits of life, devoted two years of painful labor to indicting the bitter reminiscences, and gathering the facts, dates, and events recorded in this volume.
In doing so I hope to benefit myself, pay a lasting tribute to the memory of those whose lives were consecrated to civilization, and save from oblivion the historical matter within these pages.
