Separated from their wives, children, and elder relatives, with inadequate shelter, they lived there for three long, wretched years. More than 120 men died. Desperate to connect with their families, many of these prisoners of war learned to write. Their letters, mostly addressed to the missionaries Stephen R. Riggs and Thomas S. Williamson, asked for information, for assistance, and for help sending and receiving news of their loved ones. Dakota elders Clifford Canku and Michael Simon, fluent Dakota speakers, provide both the transcription and the first published translation of fifty of these letters, culled from Riggs's papers at the Minnesota Historical Society. They are a precious resource for Dakota people learning about the travails their ancestors faced, important primary source documents for historians, and a vital tool for Dakota language learners and linguists"--Amazon.com, viewed April 30, 2013. 546 Text in English and Dakota. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 611 27 Indian Wars (Dakota : 1862-1865) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01696684 650 0 Dakota Indians |xWars, 1862-1865 |vPersonal narratives. 650 0 Dakota Indians |zIowa |zDavenport Region |vCorrespondence. 650 0 Indian prisoners |zIowa |zDavenport Region |vCorrespondence. 650 0 Prisoners of war |zIowa |zDavenport Region |vCorrespondence. 650 0 Dakota language |xTranslating into English. 650 7 Dakota Indians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00887107 650 7 Indian prisoners. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00969183 650 7 Prisoners of war. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01077227 651 7 Iowa |zDavenport Region. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01346036 648 7 1862-1865 |2fast 655 4 Correspondence. 655 4 Translating into English. 655 4 Personal narratives. 655 7 Personal narratives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423843 655 7 Records and correspondence. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423917 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 655 7 Personal correspondence. |2lcgft 852 0 |bstacks |hE83.86 |i.C36 2013
