(56) APPENDIX 2: ADDITIONAL ACCOUNT OF THE
SIOUX WAR. (RELEASE OF THE WHITE CAPTIVES. ARREST, TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF THE
INDIANS, ETC. BY THOMAS HUGHES).
This is an account of the aftermath of the settlers' clashes with the Native
American peoples taken from:
"The History of the Welsh in Minnesota, Foreston and Lime Springs,
Iowa. Gathered by the Old Settlers". Edited by Revs. Thos. E. Hughes
and David Edwards, and Messrs. Hugh G. Roberts and Thomas Hughes. Illustrated.
1895.
This account supplements another in the book which we have split into two
parts.

NOTE: Comments not in the original text are in brackets, in orange type
At the time of the Battle of Wood Lake Wood Lake (Monday September 23rd 1862)
mentioned on page 109, the Indians had over 100 white women and children held
as captives. Maddened by their defeat the hostiles would have slaughtered all
of these, had it not been for the wise and heroic efforts of the Christian
Indians: By judicious management they secured possession of nearly all these
captives and then, through one of their principal men; Paul Mazakootamane,
whose oratory, wisdom and bravery made him a power in the Indian councils, they
arranged to surrender the captives and themselves and all other Indians who
were opposed to the outbreak, and had therefore taken but small part in it, to
Gen. Sibley. In accordance with the arangement those friendly Indians separated
themselves from the hostiles, and hoisting a white flag over their camp, they
surrendered to Gen. Sibley on the afternoon of September 26. These were 29 pure
whites and nearly 150 half-breeds released at this camp - called from this
fact, "Camp Release". The whites were mostly comely young women and
girls, whose lives had been spared only that they might minister to the lusts
of the savages. For six weeks they had been subject to every outrage and
indignity, which savage nature could conceive. Many had hardly any clothing,
though the Christian Indian women had given them all they could spare from
their own scanty wardrobe. Their pitiable condition and their joy at being
released from their fiendish tormentors made a most affecting scene. More
captives were soon brought in until by October 3, there were 107 whites and 162
half-breeds, making 269 in all released. The horrible treatment these white
prisoners had received, and the terrible tortures and mutilations which had
been inflicted on men, women and children, had made the whites desperate and
they thirsted for vengeance and did not believe there was a good Indian in the
country. Most of those who had surrendered were suspected of having been implicated
inthe massacre. Gen. Sibley, therefore, caused 425 of those suspected to be
arrested and placed in chains, and a military court created at once to try
them. This court was composed of Col. Wm. Crooks, of the Sixth regiment, Col.
Wm. R. Marshall, of the Seventh regiment, Captains Grant and Bailey of the
Sixth regiment, and Lieut. Olin of the third regiment. Hon. Isaac V. D. Heard,
an attorney from St. Paul, acted as recorder for the court.
·····
The court began its labors at Camp Release on September 30, and after
convicting twenty-one adjourned until October 16, to allow the Indians time to
come in and surrender themselves. After disposing of 120 cases the camp and
commission moved to the Lower Agency on October 23. In all, 423 were arraigned
and tried, and of these 321 were convicted. Three hundred and three were
sentenced to be hung and the remaining eighteen to various terms of
imprisonment.

With the terrible prejudice then existing in the minds of our best men against
Indians and the summary haste of the trials (from twenty to forty-two being
disposed of in a day), there was little opportunity for an Indian to escape.
Our modern courts take as long to try one murderer as that court spent in
trying 425. On November 7, the military commission having finished its work,
those acquitted together with the squaws and papooses, were sent to Fort
Snelling, where they were kept all winter. The convicted ones were chained
together and loaded into wagons and carried to Camp Lincoln, which was located
in the present fair grounds in West Mankato. A number of our Welsh people
helped transport these convicted Indians. T. M. Pugh, with his fine team of
grey horses, led the van, and David J. Williams, David Price, Hugh R. Williams
and about half a dozen other Welshmen were in the procession. At New Ulm a mob
rushed upon the Indians with clubs and stones and in spite of the efforts of
the military to protect them, a number of the braves in Pugh's wagon were
injured. The German women, whose relations had been murdered by the savages,
were specially furious in this attack.

····
The train, which, between the Indians and the military, reached over a mile and
a half in length, passed through Cambria Sunday afternoon, November 9. The settlers
lined the road to see them pass, and Mrs. David Price was not the only one who
eased her mind by giving the dusky rascals a good lecture appropriately
emphasised by a vigorous shaking of the fist and head.
·····
It was Gen. Sibley's intention to execute at once the 303 sentenced to be hung,
but the religious sentiment of the east was so shocked by the hanging of so
many human beings at once, especially in view of the provocation they had for
the outbreak, that President Lincoln was induced to interfere and order that
none be executed until he had approved their sentence, and that all the
evidence upon which they had been convicted be sent to him, and though burdened
then with other work, Pres. Linclon carefully and conscientiously examined each
case personally and selected forty, whom the evidence tended to show had been
guilty of individual murder or outrage, and sentenced them to be hung. The
people of Minnesota, however, were greatly incensed at the president's
interference and insisted on all being hung.
·····
There was much talk at Mankato, New Ulm and other places of lynching and
companies of the citizens were formed once or twice for the purpose, but they
were restrained by the military. When we reflect that two out of the forty
selected by the president as the worst were proved to be wholly innocent and
how the others were converted in the great revival, which had even then started
in prison and nearly all became ture, noble, christian men, we must admit that
the judgement of the president and of the good people of the east, was best
after all. The fact is, as Dr. Riggs says, the most guilty fled with Little
Crow to the British possessions and their survivors are there to this day. With
few exceptions it was only the innocent and least guilty who voluntarily
surrendered to Gen. Sibley. Among those sentenced to be hung was Robert Hopkins
Chaskay, a young Indian thirty-two years old, an elder in Dr. Williamson's
church, whose wife, Sarah, was also a devoted Chrisitian. He had at the risk of
his own life, helped Dr. Williamson and his family and the other white people
at the Upper Agency to escape. He then out of curiosity had gone down to see
what the Indians were doing at Fort Ridgley and New Ulm and had shot an ox for
food. To allay suspicion on the part of the hostile party that he was helping
the whites he had said: "I have killed." (Without saying what). These
words were repeated by some one against him in his absence, to the military
commission, and they construed the words to mean that he had killed a human
being nd sentenced him to be hung. Every effort to save him failing, Dr.
Williamson's daughter, Miss Sarah J., wrote a personal letter on his behalf to
President Lincoln and this alone saved him from the gallows. God, it seems, had
great work yet for this man to do.
·····
On December 6, President Lincoln sent the names of the other thirty-nine doomed
men with the order fixing the date of their execution for December 19. It was
discovered that there was not sufficient rope at Mankato for the purpose, and
the president, on request, postponed the execution to December 26. The Sunday
before the execution an old man named "Round Wind", was converted in
prison and baptised. He did not then know his name was on the list of those to
be hung the following Friday. Next day when Dr. Riggs and Major Brown were sent
onto the prison to identify the doomed men and inform them of the president's
order "Round Wind" was found to be among them.
(Dakota Conflict Trials
Website: Contemporary sketches - Jail Interior
http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/dakota/JAILINT.jpg)
He had been convicted on the testimony of a German boy who had pointed him out
as the Indian who had killed his mother. An investigation soon proved beyond a
doubt that the boy was mistaken. Round Wind was miles away when his mother was
killed. To a stranger Indians are very much alike in appearance. Round Wind's
pardon was only received a few hours before the execution. The old man always
attributed his rescue to the direct intervention of Providence.

·····
On the approach of winter the Indians had been removed from Camp Lincoln to a
three story stone building, known as the Leach building, in Mankato. Its
capacity had been increased by the erection of a large log shanty beside it.
The doomed men were put into a room by themselves on Monday.
(Dakota Conflict Trials
Website: Contemporary sketches - Condemned prisoners in Mankato Prison - http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/dakota/PRISON~1.jpg)
About three fourths selected, on the advice of the half-breed, Cambell, who was
a Catholic, Father Ravaux, of St. Paul, as their spiritual adviser. The rest
chose Dr. Williamson. They were not permitted to select Dr. Riggs as he was
government interpreter. The scaffold was erected across the street from the
prison, about where now stands the Northwestern depot. An immense concourse of
people gathered to witness the execution. The military formed in a square about
the scaffold and two lines were drawn from the prison door to the scaffold
steps, between which the Indians passed onto the scaffold. With savage bravado
they danced and sung (sic)
their death song, until the drop fell. David J. Davis and W.J. Duly had both
applied for the privilege of cutting the rope which held the drop. It was
accorded to Mr. Duly, whose three children had been foully murdered at Lake
Shetek, and whose wife and two other children had suffered the horrors of
Indian captivity. At three taps of the drum the drop fell and thirty-eight
human beings dangled in the air on one scaffold.
(There is an
illustration of the scene in the book, facing page 299. Below appears the
explanation: "The execution of thirty-eight Sioux Indians at Mankato,
Minn., December 26th, 1862. The three story building in left front
with the low shed lying between it and the next building on the right, formed
the prison where the three hundred condemned Indians were confined during the
winter of 1862-3". The same illustration can be seen on the Website of

In half an hour they were cut down and buried in one large grave dug in the
sand on the river bank. Before the next morning most of the bodies had been
exhumed and carried off by medical men. The following Sunday Dr. Riggs preached
to the remaining prisoners out in the prison yard.

·····
Three hundred dusky warriors , heavily laden with chains, standing in that
court yard in the freshly fallen snow listening intently to the preacher's
words, is a picture worthy an artist's skill. Through the efforts of Robert
Hopkins and Peter Big Fire, another elder in Dr. Williamson's church, the
religious revival continued to grow until in February it culminated in a
regular Pentecostal time, and Dr. Williamson and Rev. Hicks, the Presbyterian
minister at Makato, baptised and received into the church nearly 300 of them in
one day. That their conversion was genuine, their after lives fully
demonstrated. The prison was transformed into a school room and books were in
great demand. Before spring most of these condemned men had learned to read and
write. The revival spread to the camp at Ft. Snelling, and many were ther
converted. ."

Dr. Williamson walked through the snow almost every
Sunday from his home in St. Peter to preach to the Mankato prisoners.
·····
In the spring of 1863 these prisoners were taken down the river in one boat to
Davenport, Iowa. As they were passing St. Paul they sung one of their favorite
hymns to then tune "Old Hundred:"
"Jehovah, have mercy upon me
For thy own mercy sake
Thy loving kindness is very great
Therefore place me in the heart." Etc.
·····
They were confined in a military prison in Davenport until the spring of 1866,
when the survivors were sent to their new agency in a barren district of
Nebraska, where a small remnant still survive.
·····
In the spring of 1863 the Winnebagos were removed from their Reservation in
Blue Earth county to Dakota and thence to eastern Nebraska where they now
reside There were 1,856 of them and they were taken down the Minnesota in boats
- the last of them embarking May 18, 1863. In March, 1863, Congress made an
appropriation of $200,000 towards paying the losses sustained by the citizens
of Minnesota in property confiscated and otherwise lost by reason of the Sioux
war. A commission consisting of Aldrich of Minnesota, Potter of Wisconsin, and
White of Indiana, was appointed to receive and determine the claims. They meet
during the summer at St. Peter, Mankato and South Bend. In all 2940 claims were
filed amounting to $2,600,000, of these $1,350,000 were allowed. It was impossible
with the money appropriated to pay the amount in full, so the people had to
content themselves with a small per cent.

·····
During 1863 military posts were erected all over the
frontier and expeditions were sent after the hostile bands under Little Crow.
In the fall of 1862 Dane's company was removed from Camp Crisp to Judson
village, where they remained until spring. Traces of the fort they built are
still visible. Thirty men of Company K, of Ninth Minnesota, were quartered in
Horeb church, Butternut Valley, from February to May, 1863. The church not
being large enough, a long shed was erected in the rear and John Rees'
residence moved and joined to it for a kitchen. All the men in the western
counties were organized into a state militia and provided with military guns,
equipment and ammunition.
·····
South Bend and the east half of Judson formed Company
E, Twentieth regiment, Third brigade, First division, Minnesota State Militia,
and the west half of Judson and Butternut Valley were Company F of the same
regiment. The officers, commissioned February 7, 1863, were Company E - Capt.,
B. Y. Coffin; First Lieutenant, D. D. Evans; Second Lieutenant, Edward Jones.
Company F - Captain, Jenkin Williams; First Lieutenant, David J. Williams;
Second Lieutenant, David J. Davis, Jr. In the fall, David J. Williams resigned
his commission to go to Illinois, and R. H. Hughes was elected to fill the
vacancy. Evan Jones (Indiana) was also commissioned Second Lieutenant in the
Twenty second regiment in Brown county, on February 3, 1863. September 23, 1863,
Hon. D. C. Evans was comissioned Brigadier General on the staff of Major
General Stephen Miller.
·····
In spite of every precaution, Indians in small squads would make frequent raids
into the settlements to steal horses, killing whoever they met, during 1863-4
and 5. When on one of these raids Little Crow was killed July 3, 1863, by a
settler, named Lampson, three miles north of Hutchinson.
·····
The chief and one of his sons had come down to the settlements with a horse
stealing party. They had become separated from the others and were picking
raspberries in a small clearing in the timber when Mr. Lampson and his son came
upon them. Mr. Lampson fired first and hit Little Crow in the shoulder.. Mr.
Lampson's son then fired and gave the chief his mortal wound. Little Crow's son
fled into the timber. Mr. Lampson ran towards Hutchinson, while his son tarried
a moment to load his gun and get closer to where the Indian fell to see if he
was dead. Just then Little Crow's son returned to where his father lay and gopt
some water for him and ministered to him for about half an hour, when he died.
Young Lamson was hid in the brush close by and might have shot the son, but in
his excitement he had put two loads into his gun at once and did not dare fire
it. A squad of Dane's Company then stationed at Hutchinson went out after
Little Crow's body and buried it. John Edwards, of Judson, John J. Jones
(cooper) and two or three other Welsh boys were in the sqaud. Little Crow's son
was captured about ten days later by some scouts on the Dakota lone.
·····
September 23, 1863, William J. Williams, of Cambria, claimed he saw an Indian
in the woods on his farm as he was going after cattle in the evening. The
militia were called out and scoured the woods next morning but found nothing.
There were rumors of Indians at Buffalo Grove, at Geo. Owens' house and divers
other places during 1864 and 1865.
·····
May 2, 1865, the whole country was thrown into the wildest excitement by the
murder of the Jewett family on section 33 of Rapidan. About six o' clock that
morning while the family were at breakfast six or seven Indians entered the
cabin and killed the entire family consisting of A. J. Jewett and wife, his
father and mother, and a hired man named Chas. Taylor. Mr. and Mrs. Jewett's
child was tomahwked and left for dead but afterwards recovered. The house was
ransacked and $400 in money and some clothing taken. That afternoon a half
breed named John L. Campbell called at the house of John A. Jones (Ford) in
South Bend for a glass of water. His actions were so peculiar that Jones at
once suspected him and called the attention of a Mr. Dodge to him and they at
once arrested Campbell in the road as he was leaving and took him to Mankato
and lodged him in jail. He told contradictory statements about himself and the
people were soon satisfied that he was one of the murderers. A pair of lady's
hose was found on his feet and a lady's pocket handkerchief, with the corner
where the name had been stamped cut off, was found in his pocket. These articles
with the rest of the clothing were taken out that night to where the Jewetts
had lived and identified as their clothing by friends. Next morning, when these
facts were known, a mob of 400 to 500 people surrounded the jail, the prisoner
taken out, a court martial convened with S. F. Barney as judge and John A:
Willard as prosecuting attorney, a jury of 12 men was impanelled and a trial
had in the open air just where the present court house now stands. The trial
was a farce, however, for the mob had the rope ready and were determined to
hang him anyway. The jury could not agree and finally brought in a verdict
recommending that he be held to the next term of court. The mob was wild. They
got a rope about his neck and against the protests of the few dragged him to
the southeast corner of the court house square where was a convenient tree,
hustled him into a wagon, tied a rope to a limb of the tree and pulled the
wagon from under him but they had neglected to tie his hands. The wagon was
shoved back and he was let down into it. The Catholic priest managed to have a
few words with him, while his hands were being tied. He sent a message to his
mother, a mixed Sioux and Menomonie squaw who then lived in Traverse. He, also,
told where he had hid in his cell $200 in money, which probably was part of the
Jewett plunder. Campbell was 32 years old, of very dissolute habits and had a
bad record. He had been a soldier and had deserted. His brother, Baptiste
Campbell, was one of the thirty-two (sic: in fact 38) Indians executed at Mankato in 1862. But,
while this half-breed was being hung, another Indian half-breed, John B.
Renville by name, was being ordained to the work of the ministry by the
Presbyterian Synod, just then in session at the Presbyterian church a block and
a half away. Dr. Williamson had preached the opening sermon of the Synod the
evening before the Jewett murder and had dwelt somewhat at length on the wrongs
done to the Indians. His words were true and well meant but as it happened,
inopportune. The mob now wanted to hang him and a committee of Mankato's
prominent men went to the church, called the good old man to the door,
explained the situation and advised him to leave town at once. The grand,
kindhearted old missionary, thanked the committee, left the meeting, mounted
his pony and hurried to his home in St. Peter.The rest of the Indians connected
with the Jewett murder skulked around the timber of the Blue Earth and LeSueur
for over a week. A squad of soldiers came upon them once and a skirmish ensued
in which one of the soldiers was killed. A young boy, named Bennett,
accidentally met them and was mortally wounded. They eluded all the military,
however, but along the Dakota frontier Maj. Brown had a line of Indian scouts.
These discovered the rascals as they were returning and killed them all.This
raid caused the commissioner of Blue Earth county to offer a reward of $200 for
every Indian scalp. At the suggestion of Major E.P. Evans of Garden City, a
pack of thirteen blood hounds were brought in the southern states to track
Indians with. They cost $1070.50 but there came no occasion to use them for the
Indian war was now over.
