Collins: "The Expedition Against the Sioux Indians in 1863, Under Gen. Henry H. Sibley" (1895).From June through August 1863, the 7th Minnesota Regiment under the command of General Henry Sibley chased, battled and quelled armed bands of Sioux Indians. Captain Loren W. Collins kept a diary of that expedition. Over thirty years later, Collins, now serving as Associate Justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court, revised his diary into a war memoir, had it printed as a 22 page booklet and gave copies to members of his old regiment at a reunion. It is posted here. |
