Excerpt from A History of Dickinson County, Iowa: Together With an Account of the Spirit Lake Massacre, and the Indian Troubles on the Northwestern Frontier
There has for some time existed a feeling that a connected account of the Indian trouble on the northwestern border of Iowa should be given to the public, or rather that what facts are preserved should be so grouped that a person reading them could form a reasonably intelligent idea of them. Any person fol lowing this line of investigation will soon come face to face with the fact that the sources of information are extremely limited. The writer has endeavored to give as correct and con cise an idea of the points treated as was possible under the cir cumstances, and it seems appropriate to combine them with the early history of Dickinson County, inasmuch as that was the storm center around which, so far as Iowa is concerned, these events seemed to culminate.
