President Lincoln and the Sioux Indian uprising in Minnesota in 1862

[L Verge]

Weeks ago, I posted the above query and received no response. So, I did some searching on my own. I first heard about these canes years ago, but never pursued their history. This site will give you a brief introduction http://si-siris.blogspot.com/2013/01/lin...ve-on.html. One thing it did clear up was my misconception that Lincoln himself presented these canes to the Pueblos. 'Tain't so. Just an interesting sidelight to the Lincoln/Indian part of his administration.
