“Get a copy of the book “Scalp Dance” to learn more from a non-pc warped perspective, like the linkes article to this thread. Pay particular attention to the chapter entitled “ a fate worse than death”.”
Looks very interesting. I notice the rest of the title to be “Indian Warfare on the High Plains 1865-1879.” How does it relate or refer to the events in the OP from 1861-62?
I was just pointing out that the ndians were not the noble, solely oppressed individuals as depicted in the article and wanted to reference a different un pc narrative of Indian culture. This book Does a good job of that, relying heavily on first hand journals and accounts from soldiers and settlers. It gives an un pc view of Indian culture, conduct, and warfare across numerous migratory tribes, including the Sioux.
