Dahcotah, Or Life and Legends of the
Sioux around Ft. Snelling
|
By Mrs. Mary Eastman
The materials for the following pages
were gathered during a residence of seven years
in the immediate neighborhood nay in the very
midst of the once powerful but now nearly
extinct tribe of
Sioux or
Dahcotah Indians.
Fort Snelling is situated seven miles below
the Falls of St. Anthony, at the confluence of
the Mississippi and St. Peter's rivers built in
1819, and named after the gallant Colonel
Snelling, of the army, by whom the work was
erected. It is constructed of stone; is one of
the strongest Indian forts in the United States;
and being placed on a commanding bluff, has
somewhat the appearance of an old German castle,
or one of the strongholds on the Rhine. |
