"A classic chapter of American history. The 1862 Sioux uprising in Minnesota known as the Dakota Conflict is retold in this new presentation of the first-hand accounts woven together at the time by a local parish leader. 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".-worldcat. -- First published in German in 1876. -- Chapter on Custer and the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
