Massacre in MinnesotaThe Dakota War of 1862, the Most Violent Ethnic Conflict in American HistoryBy Gary Clayton Anderson

“Anderson’s account of the Dakota uprising of 1862 is now the definitive one of an event—shamefully corrupt in its origins, horrific in its unfolding, and tragic in its aftermath—that must stand among the most appalling and revealing in the long history of Indian-white relations.”

ELLIOTT WEST author of The Essential West: Collected Essays and The Last Indian War: The Nez Perce Story

“Exhaustively researched and copiously documented, Ander-son’s history of the Minnesota-Dakota War of 1862 offers fresh perspectives and a superior understanding of both Dakota culture and federal Indian policy. This will become the standard work on the subject.”

WILLIAM E. LASS author of Minnesota: A History and Navigating the Missouri: Steamboating on Nature’s Highway

Gary Clayton Anderson, Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma, is author of The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1820–1875.
