It was August 1862, and the Civil War was raging, when the Dakota left their Minnesota reservation and rose in what was the largest Indian uprising in American history, and unique in that even sizable towns and army bases were attacked. In the uprising the small settlement at Lake Shetek in Southwestern Minnesota was attacked, and three white women and eight children taken captive. This story is of how a group of teen-aged youths of the Lakota, the western branch of the Sioux Nation, set out to free those captives at the risk of their own lives.
