Kinsmen of Another Kind: Dakota-White Relations in the Upper Mississippi Valley, 1650-1862

by Gary Clayton Anderson

Book Overview

In August 1862 the Dakota or Eastern Sioux, frustrated at being defrauded by the United States government and at losing their land and livelihood, resorted to armed conflict against the white settlers of southern Minnesota. Gary Clayton Anderson is the first historian to use an ethnohistorical approach to explain why, after more than two centuries of friendly interaction, the bonds of peace between the Dakota and whites suddenly broke apart.
