American Life, "Little War on the Prairie" (November
23, 2012)(radio documentary by John Biewen) Growing up in Mankato, Minnesota, John Biewen
says, nobody ever talked about the most important
historical event ever to happen there: in 1862, it was
the site of the largest mass execution in U.S.
history. Thirty-eight Dakota Indians were hanged after
a war with white settlers. John went back to Minnesota
to figure out what really happened 150 years ago, and
why Minnesotans didn’t talk about it much after.
