Little Crow: Leader of the Dakota

This is a biography of Little Crow, the Dakota leader in early Minnesota history, who watched his way of life disappear as white people settled on the land; who negotiated treaties with the U.S. Government; and who eventually led an uprising in 1862 in which many settlers were killed. Thoroughly researched and documented, this book by Gwenyth Swain, is a useful resource for Minnesota history classes.
