91. Over the Earth I Come: The Great Sioux Uprising of 1862 by Duane Schultz. I've done a fair amount of reading about the Dakota War by now, but this is the most on-the-ground account yet; Schultz culls from memoirs, letters, etc. to create an hour-by-hour account that reads like one of John Toland's books about WWII or the Korea conflict. He lingers a bit much on the Dakota atrocities reported by the surviving settlers, I think--partly because I'm skeptical of the accuracy of their reportage, but mostly because the amount of detail seems unnecessarily sensationalized to me. On the other hand, I appreciate the perspective he gives on Sibley's cautious entry into the conflict, since the biographical material I've read about Sibley largely neglected to report the controversy and criticism of his involvement.
