"I’m sharing an article written by a longtime Surratt Society member, Robert Norris, for the May issue of Washington Lawyer magazine. It gives excellent insight into the Dakota Indian situation that we have mentioned here before."

This was an excellent, comprehensive, accurate, and well-written article. Thank you, Roger. I felt sorry for Chief Little Crow - a Greek tragedy in real life. And, thank God for President Abraham Lincoln and Bishop Whipple, who convinced President Lincoln of the injustices done to the Indians and the true cause of the inevitable uprising. Judge Holt and the two lawyers that did the case by case investigations on Lincoln's orders should also be commended.
