5 Mai 1863 Jahr - Dakota Banishment

Beschreibung:

After the deadly winter of 1862-1863, more than 260 Dakota men convicted the previous fall are brought to a compound in Davenport, Iowa, where they spend three years before being exiled. The Dakota at Fort Snelling are sent by steamboat down the Mississippi and up the Missouri Rivers to new reservations including Crow Creek in Dakota Territory, a dry, barren place that was unsuitable for farming.
