Synopsis

The Indian's Revenge, also known as Days of Honor: Some Appalling Events in the History of the Sioux, is a historical account of the Sioux tribe's struggle against the United States government and settlers in the late 19th century. Written by Alexander Berghold in 1891, the book chronicles the events leading up to the Sioux Wars, including the Broken Treaty of 1868 and the Black Hills Gold Rush of 1874.Berghold provides a detailed account of the battles between the Sioux and the US Army, including the infamous Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where General Custer and his men were defeated by the Sioux. The book also delves into the controversial figure of Sitting Bull, the Sioux leader who played a pivotal role in the tribe's resistance against the US government.Throughout the book, Berghold portrays the Sioux as brave and honorable warriors fighting to defend their land and way of life against the encroachment of white settlers. He also highlights the atrocities committed by the US Army against the Sioux, including the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890.Overall, The Indian's Revenge is a gripping and informative account of a pivotal moment in American history, shedding light on the complex and often tragic relationship between Native Americans and the US government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

American civiliza tion. New Ulm is situated in Brown County, on the right shore of the Minnesota River, and is named after an important city and an old fort standing on the shore of the Danube in Wurtemberg. With the exception of about sixteen families of other nationalities, the inhabitants of New Ulm are Germans, and number over four thousand. The town-site will accommodate comfortably not less than 100,000 inhabitants; but, for its situa tion, rising as it does, terrace after terrace, from the bank of the river to the oak-crowned hills at the back, it is a beautiful spot. It can boast of a finer and more picturesque location than that of thousands of other villages and towns. Nearly all the working classes have cosy homes, surrounded by neat gardens. Built of stone and brick are substantial stores and costly dwellings, all which bespeak the prosperity of this little German burg. Two monuments adorn the city that of Herman the Cherusci, and the Indian monument commemorating the siege of New Ulm in 1862.
