Title: Military service records, Dakota Conflict, 1862-1865, 1907.

Records documenting the role of citizen militia and home guard units during the Dakota Conflict. In August 1862, settlers on the Minnesota frontier, frightened of a possible Indian conflict organized local, grass roots organizations for mutual protection in dozens of cities and towns around Minnesota. Active campaigns against the Indians resulted in the battles of Birch Coulee, Mankato, and New Ulm. An expedition, commanded by Colonel Henry H. Sibley and comprised of many of the citizen groups, was also undertaken to remove the threat from any remaining hostile Indians.
