Indians’ Revenge; Or, Days of Horror: Some Appalling Events in the History of the Sioux (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from The Indians’ Revenge; Or, Days of Horror: Some Appalling Events in the History of the Sioux
New Ulm is situated in Brown County on the right shore of the Minnesota River, and is named after an important city and an old fort standing on the shore of the Danube in Wurtemberg. With the exception of about sixteen families of other nationalities, the inhabitants of New Ulm are Germans, and number over four thousand. The town-site will accommodate comfortably not less than 100,000 inhabitants; but, for its situation, rising as it does, terrace after terrace, from the bank of the river to the oak-crowned hills at the back, it is a beautiful spot. It can boast of a finer and more picturesque location than that of thousands of other villages and towns. Nearly all the working classes have cosy homes, surrounded by neat gardens. Built of stone and brick are substantial stores and costly dwellings, all which bespeak the prosperity of this little German burg. Two monuments adorn the city – that of Herman the Cherusci, and the Indian monument commemorating the siege of New Ulm in 1862.
