The Dakota War Of 1862 by Kenneth Carley
A concise military and social history of the 1862 conflict between Dakota Sioux and Euro‑American settlers in Minnesota that traces the roots of the uprising—broken treaties, starvation, and escalating tensions—through the summer outbreak of raids and battles, the federal military response and defeat of Dakota fighters, and the harsh aftermath of mass trials, the largest mass execution in U.S. history, forced removals and long-term dispossession and trauma for Dakota communities, with discussion of local politics, legal processes, and the conflict’s legacy.
