During the summer of 1862, while the Great Civil War was de- vastating half the Union, the Sioux Indians in Minnesota, led by Little Crow and other chiefs, began a murderous war on the white people of that State and perpetrated many atrocious massacres, killing more than seven hundred whites and driving about twenty-five thousand from their homes. The Indians had been dissatisfied for a long time, especially com- plaining of the course pursued by the white traders and of the delay of the Nation...al government in making the annual payments due them by treaty. The Indians began their outrages on August 17, 1862, when a party of Sioux murdered some whites near the town of Acton ; and the next day they indulged in a general massacre of the white settlers on the upper Minnesota river. After defeating the few United States troops sent against them, the Indians perpetrated fiendish massacres throughout the whole western part of Minnesota and also in Iowa and the Territory of Dakota. The savages inflicted every kind of atrocity upon their victims.
