Henry Sibley tries to negotiate truce with Little Crow but they refuse. Henry and his troops travel up the Minnesota river arriving at Wood Lake to camp for the night of 9-22-1862 when a handful of U.S. soldiers looking for food come across a group of Dakota soldiers preparing to attack Sibley's troops. The battle of Wood Lake was the last major battle of the Dakota-U.S. war. The Dakota had been defeated in the war.
