Lincoln's Bishop

Description

A history of the Dakota War of 1862, an Episcopal bishop, and his campaign to protect the lives of the Dakota Sioux. It is hard to recall what powerful moral voices Protestant church leaders had in the formative years of the nation. Gustav Niebuhr travels back to the Minnesota frontier of 1862 when Dakota Sioux rose up against pioneering families and slaughtered hundreds. Citizens demanded mass executions and deportations.
