Pomme de Terre : a novel of the Minnesota uprising / Candace Simar.

Simar, Candace. (Author).

Summary:

1862 was a tumultuous year in Minnesota history. The Civil War drained the youngest state in the Union of soldiers and resources. War expenses delayed treaty payments, and the Sioux were starving. The result was the Sioux Uprising of 1862. The largest Indian war in U.S. history, it was bracketed by the bloody battles of Shiloh and Antietam. Although the government declared the uprising over in the fall, Pomme de Terre tells the story of settlers in the western part of the state where raids continued through the following year.
