Beginning a new blog - Dakota Conflict

This blog is created to serve as an informational source for persons interested in the Dakota Conflict in Minnesota.  This episode in Minnesota History began on August 18, 1862 and continued for nearly six weeks.   I believe that this conflict was the most significant event in Minnesota history for one hundred years.

My name is Norman Teigen and I have been interested in the Dakota Conflict for many years.  I was raised in Mankato and now I live in Hopkins.  I have been to most of the Dakota Conflict sites.

On June 25, 2010 I will accompany three people on a day long tour of the sites.  On August 18th another tour is planned.   This tour will consist of two cars with room for eleven people.

If you are interested in joining this group, send me an e-mail.   normanteigen@gmail.com

There are many monuments across the area.  The New Sweden Indian Attack monument is located in Nicollet County.   Double click the image for best viewing.
