Soldiering in Dakota, Among the Indians: In 1863-4-5

3/5 ( ratings)

From inside the book:
I have been induced to present to the public this little book, containing the experiences of a perilous expedition in which I took part, thrfiugh Dakota to the Yellowstone country, at a time when there was scarcely any settlement west or north of the Iowa border. I little thought at that time while chasing Indians and wild game over this vast domain, that anyone, much less myself, would ever make a home in this “Great American Desert,” but the modifying influences of civilization have been such in the Northwest during the past quarter of a century, that the entire world looks with amazement upon the wonderful transformation wrought in so comparatively short a time. The truthfulness of this diary record which I kept, could be easily verified by evidence from several participants still living. However, it is my purpose to portray the feelings and experiences of a private soldier, rather than add to the official history of that expedition, hoping thereby to interest the people who now reside in peace and prosperity where the principal events herein noted occurred.

This book originally published by State Historical Society, in 1888 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.
