Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"With Sully into the Sioux Land" by Joseph Mills Hanson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the dangerous and tumultuous period surrounding the Sioux uprisings in Minnesota during the summer and fall of 1862. It focuses on the Briscoe family, particularly on the experiences of young Al Briscoe as he navigates the collapse of their frontier life amidst widespread violence and chaos instigated by hostile M'dewakanton and Wakpekute Indians. The opening of the narrative introduces the Briscoe family as they face an imminent threat from the Sioux after news of an uprising reaches them. Mr. Briscoe hurriedly returns home from Fort Ridgely to warn his family of the dangers. As panic escalates, the Briscoes prepare to flee to safety but are violently confronted by a group of attacking Indians. In a swift and harrowing sequence, Mr. Briscoe is killed, and his youngest son, Tommy, is captured. The beginning sets a dark and tense atmosphere, laying the groundwork for Al's subsequent journey of survival, resilience, and the desperate search for his brother amidst the horrors of war and conflict in their newfound home.
