Synopsis

Fort Snelling was an integral part of our national history., but the crisis over slavery in the 1950's provoked fierce debate over whether the west would be slave or free.Abraham Lincoln's election as president in 1860 and civil war that followed dramatically changed Fort Snelling. This book tells stories of the 24,000 men (and a few women) who passed through the Fort on their way to Union Army Service. The U.S.-Dakata Conflict of 1962 and its aftermath accelerated Fort Snelling's transformation. This book does not retell the story of that war, instead it depicts what that war meant to Fort Snelling's soldiers and civilians. Today Fort Snelling belongs to the state of Minnesota. Only by seeing and experience the restored Historic Fort in all its grandeur and learning about tis trials during the Civil War can we begin to understand what it was like for the men and women who were there in the 1860's.
