Leonora Brown and the Sioux War Rifles Heroic Stand
Walter Brown and his daughter Leonora live at the St Croix headwaters in Minnesota. When Sioux attack, Leonora uses a revolving rifle to shoot four Indians, then a fifth, saving her father and Watson. The tale ends with a patriotic memorial ceremony for fallen soldiers at a nearby monument and cemetery.
