Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the harrowing experiences of the author, a young girl who witnessed the brutal Spirit Lake Massacre of 1857. The massacre occurred on the frontier of Iowa, where settlers had ventured in search of new opportunities and a fresh start. The authorââ â¢s vivid first-han…d account captures the anxieties and uncertainties of life on the frontier, where the fragile peace between settlers and Native Americans could be shattered in an instant. The author weaves a deeply personal narrative of family life, pioneer struggles, and the ever-present threat of violence. Through her eyes, we experience the unsettling encounters with Native American tribes, the growing sense of unease, and the ultimate horror of the massacre. The book delves into the complexities of this tragic chapter in American history, providing a unique and intimate perspective on the devastating impact of conflict on individual lives. The author's account offers a poignant reminder of the human cost of westward expansion and the need for understanding and empathy in navigating intercultural relations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Contact seller4-star sellerFirst Edition. Second Issue. Brown pebbled-cloth with gilt imprint on front panel and spine. 314pp.+1 page advertisement. Over a 5 day period in March, 1857, fifteen Santee Sioux Indians of the Wahpekute band, led by the renegade chief Inkpaduta, attacked the homes of several settlers in northwestern Iowa, on the shores of Spiri…t and Okoboji lakes. They brutally killed 35-40 settlers and carried away 4 young women into captivity. Only 13 years old, Abigail Gardner was the youngest of the captives. She witnessed the killing of her family and endured 3 months of captivity before being ransomed. Her firsthand account of this tragedy is a classic. This Second Issue differs from the first in that it includes a 2 page endorsement by Charles E. Flandrau that arrived too late for the initial printing. It also includes a 1-page advertisement for The Orleans, a resort on the south shore of Spirit Lake, inserted between pages 302 & 303. A few light-color smudges on front panel and somewhat more on the back panel. Some very light wear to spine ends and a couple of very small holes on the edges of the spine. Both inner hinges are cracked, but holding very tightly. In all, a very good copy of a scarce account.
