The Dakota Conflict, or Great Sioux Uprising as it was called,
occurred 150 years ago in 1862 and became identified as part of the
American Civil War. The Dakota Conflict caused the greatest loss of
civilian life in an Indian war in U.S. history, and resulted in the
largest mass execution in U.S. history. The author is a direct
descendant of settlers living in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, who
witnessed htis dark chapter in American history. We commemorate all
victims of the Sioux Uprising, we forgive the crimes of our
ancestors, and we support efforts at reconciliation between the
white and Indian cultures. This hardcover book, Blood on the
Prairie A Novel of the Sioux Uprising Sesquicentennial Edition, is
a collector edition intended for personal and community libraries.
The Native Peoples of the United States could only take so much
from the world. "Blood on the Prairie" is a novel set amongst this
theater of the American Civil War, where the Sioux Nation rebelled
against Minnesota and led to some of the bloodiest conflicts of the
period. Author Steven Ulmen draws on his own personal history to
tell the story of the conflict. "Blood on the Prairie" is a strong
pick for fans of historical fiction, recommended. Burroughs
