Story Behind The Book
On December 26, 1862, thirty-eight full-blooded and mixed-blooded Sioux Indians were hanged in Minnesota for various crimes against white settlers after what became known as the Great Sioux Uprising. The Uprising came in retaliation for corrupt and questionable actions on the part of the government concerning treaties that were not honored. The hangings are known as the largest mass execution in United States history. This book is based on that history and is being adapted to film.
