[Genealib] Trails of Tears: Minnesota's Dakota Indian Exile Begins

[Mary Bakeman]

We have just added a new book to our offerings on the Dakota Conflict of 
1862. "Trails of Tears: Minnesota's Dakota Indian Exile Begins," through 
a series of essays, tells what happened in the weeks following the 
defeat of Little Crow and early December, 1862, as the prisoners were 
moved to Camp Lincoln near Mankato, and their families were escorted to 
Fort Snelling to the internment camp.

Much of the information has not been in print before, including 
documentation on the route taken by the families and the mob plots to 
massacre the prisoners. These plots were covered up at the highest level 
of state government, and are revealed here for the first time.
