As the first of the MHS Express imprint, this short e-book will highlight the rifts and crises leading up to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 in Minnesota between the Dakota people and the U.S. government, as keenly represented by then-governor and later militia colonel Henry Sibley, and will weave together excerpts from the 2004 MHS book, Henry Hastings Sibley: Divided Heart, and with a new MHS Express introduction by author Rhoda Gilman.
