"...breath-taking detail... provides a fascinating insight into
frontier life at the time."--Robert M. Utley, Award-winning author
and former Chief Historian for the National Park Service "Miniature
Wargames"
"...provides a detailed account of the massacre. The events are
organized by location rather than chronologically. This approach
allows for continuity within the discussion of the members of a
community that either escaped or were killed. To help the reader
follow along with the violence in each community, Michno includes
several maps at the beginning of the book. These maps are
indispensable in understanding the events in the context of the
area... a good description of the 1862 uprising. The reader gets a
better understanding of Indian/white relations and why the Indians
were forced to defend their lifestyle."--Robert M. Utley,
Award-winning author and former Chief Historian for the National
Park Service "Collected Miscellany"
"Greg Michno has immersed himself in the sources documenting the
Minnesota Sioux uprising of 1862. This is new terrain for him, but
he brings his usual skills in research and narrative presentation
to present an outstanding history of this significant
event."--Robert M. Utley, Award-winning author and former Chief
Historian for the National Park Service "Armchair General"
"This superb new book by today's best Indian Wars historian
examines the bloody first week of the conflict that killed more
whites and Native Americans than any other in the Western Indian
Wars."--Jerry Morelock, Editor "Armchair General"
"In Dakota Dawn, Gregory F. Michno expertly chronicles one of the
bloodiest weeks in American history--the appalling opening days of
Minnesota's 1862 Dakota Indian Outbreak. His is a powerful
interpretation of immediate horrific tragedy laced with
implications for future Indian-white relations throughout the West.
Michno's history is always thorough, riveting, and
enlightening."--Jerome A. Greene, author of Beyond Bear's Paw: The
Nez Perce Indians in Canada, and Indian War Veterans: Memories of
Army Life and Campaigns in the West, 1864-1898
