Two Wars on the Frontier

By A.J. Carlson

Two Wars on the Frontier is the compilation of the diaries by Swedish immigrant A.J. Carlson. Carlson, a 19 year old volunteer in the 9th Minnesota, Company H, joined the army to "free the slaves", but found himself being sent to fight in the US-Dakota War, first. His diaries were first published in the East Union News by his 12 year old son, an aspiring newspaper editor. The diaries were lost for over 120 years, but through a stroke of luck they are now available for everyone. Carlson's self named, Two Wars on the Frontier, is an incredibly balanced view of this transformational time in U.S., Minnesota, and Carver County history.
