An American Tale
As the nation is focused on the Civil War, another kind of conflict is brewing in the Minnesota frontier that will test the Dakota chief Little Crow and young army lieutenant Timothy Sheehan. Based on historical events and participants—male and female, Native and non-Native, military and civilian—of the Dakota War of 1862, this riveting story, sweeping in scope, provides a dramatic, close-up view of the different histories, cultures, and motivations of those caught up in America’s westward expansion.
