@@fordwk Skimerhorn was based on a real person, Colonel John M. Chivington, who commanded US Volunteers at the Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado, which resulted in the murder of an estimated 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho men, women, and children. It should be noted that Volunteers were not regular US Army soldiers, but militia troops called to active service during the War Between the States. Also, not every soldier under his command obeyed Chivington's senseless order to attack defenseless women and children. Captain Silas Soule not only defied him, but even testified against him later at a court of inquiry, despite murder threats. In the end Chivington was forced to resign his commission and Colorado's territorial governor was dismissed. Two months after his testimony Soule was ambushed and killed by two assassins. He wounded the man who shot him, Charles Squier, but Squier later escaped federal custody when his own captor was presumed murdered in a staged drug overdose. Squier eventually fled to Central America where he met a most ignoble end, having both of his legs crushed in a railroad accident, which led to gangrene and his death in 1869.

I'm speculating, but think it was probably overshadowed because the Civil War was raging in the East at the time. This happened at almost the exact time as the battle of Antietam (17 Sep 1862), the deadliest one day battle in American history. Thanks so much for sharing this essential part of Minnesota and American history.

We learned of the Fort Mims massacre by the redstick Creeks on river settlers forted up in 1813 and the following defeat a year later at Horseshoe Bend. They followed that in 11th grade US history with listing the major battles and raids in all of the US territories from 1780 to 1890. Kids back then 70s, were more interested I guess. These raids and the two big wars after 1861 were mentioned in the Little House series of books.

The life native Americans, like nearly all peoples whos' lives were marked by almost continuous warfare between themselves and with other tribes who all either got really good at it or disappeared from history. It stands to reason that those tribes that thrived were able to defend their camps and successfully defeat other tribes for land, slaves and prosperity; there were no prize for second place. Children endlessly listened to warriors recount battles (and tactics) and played war until they could join their elders at the real thing. Anyone who does not understand and appreciate the war expertice of surviving tribes like the Souix while Europeans were still slapping each other with satin gloves and following Marquis of Queensbury rules in combat is missing the point here. Thousands of British and their professional Hessian fighters were stunned and beaten bloody by settlers who simply adopted the tactics of the Eastern tribes. Washington did NOT cross an ice-choked river at midnight to attack early on Christmas morning using tactics learned in the British war college he and some of his commanders attended before the Revolution. The surrendering Brits were mortified at the savage termidity and lack of social graces of the attack under those unfair and ghastly tactics the Americans learned from the indians.

Greetings, My G x 4 grandmother lost her husband, brother and sister-in-law when Inkapuda led an attack (aka Inkpatha in our family history). She hid with 4 children, all under age 8 in the root cellar. They watched the attack and massacre through the floor board cracks. A family bible still exists with an indian's bloody footprint inside it's cover. Grandma hid for hours and then shoved her way past furniture and a rug to find her adult loved one butchered but her infant nephew blood-covered but uninjured. With 4 small children of her own plus the tiny orphan, she hid in the corn field for 3 days, existing on raw corn and the dew that formed on the leaves of the corn stalks-to frightened to return to her cabin or the river due to passing bands of raiding indians who traveled along the river banks. They were rescued by troops of Sibley's cavalry along with a 10 year old orphan she discovered and collected while in the cornfield. Grandma Bryttva Mestad, her 4 children and the two orphan boys returned to Winnishiek County, Iowa (Highlandville).

Yes, in fact, I have been aware of most of the reason that drove the Conflict as I chose NOT to accept the easy assumption that the indians just decided to go to war with those settlers. Could we exchange email addresses, etc., as I would love to settle and exchange info, oral family recollections and more? I would be honored to be part of a greater understanding of the events leading up to the war, both for my family members and possibly yours. My understanding was that rations and a payment were due to the tribe that were not accomplished and that the brother of the man who settled my city, La Crosse, WI refused to furnish food and other necessities, breaking the treaty and causing people to face starvation and disease in the coming winter. This latest act was merely the latest slight/insult/ breaking of treaty guarantees by the BIA and government representitives after your nation ceded wnership and occupancy of a great swath of ancestral land, agreed to live in a limited area and under government control PLUS turn in all firearms making hunting for subsistance almost impossible. All that plus unknown daily slights and insults inescapeably drove your ancestors to violently retaliate against villages and settlers who were understandably viewed as antagonists too. My grandmother was told that our ancestors traded with, had almost daily contact with families and tribal members and had developed relationships and had the ability to discuss trades and other interactions with tribal members. When my grandma first told me the story her great grandmother, a 10 year old girl at the time of the attack at their cabin we were in the barn hand milking the half dozen cows grandma still owned about 60 years ago. After I had posed every question my teen-aged mind could think of I returned to talk with her about the family legacy but also what I learned about the indians' plight up to the attacks. My grandma was shocked to hear about the bands' treatment and were facing starvation and recall that she finally able to better understand the attacks. As a mother who suffered gringing poverty even before the Depression that just got worse for her family as the Government enforced programs most often hurt as many families as it tried to helped, I am sure she instantly understood and identified with at least some of the your ancestors' anger, fear and desperation and most certainly the fear of watching your children sufferand die on the whim of a politician. I hope you will consider email contact with me. We share a common set of events but few if any of the direct and indirect results; I hope we might enlighten and inform family and others of the fuller picture of those times. Would you agree that as people who gather our families' own history and insure our descendants hear the best version we are able to give, that we owe both ancestors and descendants a chance for a fuller, truer account? I look forward to your response!

75% of battle casualties are due to artillery. Or at least that is what my Sgt. Major told me when I was in college in the 80s

As a teenager I was quite interested in tales of the American frontier. At one point I remember reading a book of short histories of the Indian Wars. One story in particular I wish I'd never read was about an American Army officer who was captured sometime in the early 1800's by an Iroquois war party. His own small band of soldiers had been killed during an ambush and he was the only survivor. The story was related by a French trapper who was friendly to the Iroquois in that area, but had no love for the Americans or British. Long story short, the Iroquois braves decided to burn the American alive. When the trapper told the officer that his fate was to be burned, he stated that he "would attempt to bear it bravely", but the trapper told him that it would be nowhere near a quick death, as the Iroquois truly enjoyed the spectacle of burning their captives slowly on a bed of coals where they would tie a man's hands behind his back and then rope him by his neck to a pole, but leave his feet and legs free. Then they'd watch him dance as he'd slowly roast to death over coals with just enough rope to allow him to put part of his body out of the intense heat, but not all of it. This led to a man "favoring" various parts of his body as the rest of him roasted in various places until the thousands of twists and turns to obtain some relief had finally caused every part of the man's surface to become charred, with the exception of his face and head; at which point the Iroquois would shove him to the ground and heap hot coals on his head to finish the deed. The "fun" was to see how long they could keep a man alive during this ordeal. The trapper related that it took this particular officer a day and a half to finally expire. I still have trouble grasping this level of evil and the knowledge that the native peoples of the Americas had been dealing out this sort of treatment to their rivals long before Europeans appeared on the scene has since destroyed any naive ideas of the "Noble Indigenous Peoples" B.S. you might hear from supremely ignorant people in our modern era.

I lived on Lake Shetek, well, actually a smaller lake named Bloody Lake, from 1995 -1999. Where the rebellion started was no more than 1 mile from my house. It is a lovely area, but the video offers confusing pictures and paintings in regards to what the terrain looked like. Honestly, Minnesota starts to get a bit more hilly and tree covered around Mankato. A large part of the rebellion was on the Minnesota Prairie. Regardless, as a student one of the best history teachers I ever had took my class out numerous times to learn the history of the rebellion. Truly fascinating.

Family lore says my great [great?] grandfather was a Federal Soldier and was killed in a Souix massacre before the Civil War. Whether it was at Ft Snelling, or if he was a sergeant, and Cavalryman, are murky details. His widow and sons resettled in Rock Island, Illimois. The eldest sons worked at the Arsenal there during the Civil War. As a young man, my paternal grandfather moved to Chicago and became a telegrapher, before studying medicine. He was drafted into the US Army Medical Corps during the Great War and was with the AEF and subsequent occupation of Germany -- 1918-19. He went deaf from the shelling.

Telling it like it was is good history. Not enough was told in this story about why the Sioux rose up. What a shame that Black American history, again, events that happened, is being censored by states that don't want to acknowledge massacres of black citizens. I'm sure this uprising and massacre would be readily taught in these states because they were white. If all these victims were black , and were killed by white men, this historical event would never see the light of day in states run by Republicans,

Maybe one of the biggest events around the same time as the American civil war.

Me too. I’m curious of a couple things now: 1) do they teach this in the reservations? 2) why is something like this, so local, not taught? We learned about fort snelling, and even then it was in relation to the British. And we learned about St paul and how it was nearly named pigs eye, after the brut that lived under a bridge and beat the shit out of people

Great video about the massacre. On a side note, Frederick Russell Burnham, who would later be a tracker in the Apache Wars, then head to Africa, meet up with and serve as an army scout with Robert Baden-Powell, heavily influencing what would become Boy Scouts (it was from Burnham that Baden-Powell incorporated the campaign hat and neckerchief, as well as a bunch of field craft), was a baby when his mother hid him in his basket in a pile of corn husks before running into the woods to avoid Little Crows warriors, who did burn down the farm. They moved to California, where his exploits as a boy really took off. For a good read, check “A Splendid Savage”, the Burnham biography from 2014.

“The Sioux were still a hunting society in the early nineteenth century. All evidence considered, it seems likely that 50 percent of those living in 1650 were children. This would boost the total Sioux population in the Mississippi watershed to about 38,000 at white contact....Theoretically, at least, epidemics do much to explain the general decline in Sioux populations from 38,000 at white contact to 25,000 in 1805,....” Gary Clayton Anderson, Kinsmen of Another Kind: Dakota-White Relations in the Upper Mississippi Valley, 1650-1862 (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1997), p. 19 and p. 22.

one of those men killed that first day at the lower agency was my great-great grandfathers older brother. According to an interview my GG-grandfather did in a 1930 newspaper article, he was beheaded and his head placed on a tree stump just outside of the agency.

I grew up in Bloomington Mn. The river valley is only a few miles to the South. A bit off topic but the home I grew up in was haunted. Built in 63. Nothing over the top but there was a entity residing. No one ever passed at the address. My buddy suggested my childhood home was built on a gravesite.

My Dad's grandpa told him the story of dad's greatgrandma Janette 'having to' give some indians a meal while the indians (men) were playing with her children. Near Lake Sakatah, (Waterville), Le Sueur County before "Dakota War of 1862". Dad's greatgrandpa, Albert Augustus Henry Ripley, was in 4th Regiment Minnesota Volunteers, they (Albert & Janette) are buried at Lake Sakatah Cemetary.

CBC: Thats where my people come from, my GGG Grandfather fought in the 7th Minnesota and was also on this campaign. He too lies in the Sakatah Cemetery as does his wife beside him, unmarked. He survived the war but the illness he caught while down south never did leave him and he was dead within 4 years of returning to the farm. We have people from both sides in that cemetery and also in Kilkenny but those pioneer graves were "lost" long ago, no records survived to the present day. Just west of the 13/60 interchange theres a small pioneer cemetery on the south side of the road, very hard to find, and we have a pair of ancestors there too, a mother and daughter. The cemetery was in very poor shape and the head stones are leaning badly 5 years ago. Id like to figure out who is in charge of that spot to do some improvements to the headstones but its a very murky trail, some 4H "owns" it but I havent found out much past that, not sure if the chapter is active or not.
