Lonely outpost marks US-Dakota War's start | Minnesota Public Radio News

I have probably learned more about the Dakota War in the past week than I have throughout my life merely by listening to the radio.

There have not been any punches pulled in the telling of the tale and that is important. History can be ugly, each side can be just as guilty of atrocities. It is important to remember that, especially in a place where "my country, right or wrong" seems to rule the day.
