25 août 1862 - US Dakota war, Evacuation of New Ulm

Description:

With little food left in New Ulm and fear of another attack, around 2000 people, residents of New Ulm and surrounding areas, are evacuated to Mankato. Some flee to St. Peter and St. Paul. People begin returning to New Ulm in early September and small military posts spring up throughout the county. In December, the town of New Ulm officially reorganizes its government.
