Indian History fragments recount Fort Snelling 1820 massacre tale
A garbled reminiscence from 1820 Fort Snelling describes a Chippewa Sioux clash after a peace pipe ceremony, a girl casualty, and swift pursuit by troops led by Colonel Dosiah Snelling. It notes executions, tribal retribution, and a later Utah scene of distributing red shirts to Indians under Colonel Tourtelotte.
