Book excerpt: The Indian wars in Minnesota were declared officially over by the end of 1862. However, bands of hostile Sioux still roamed the Big Woods and the prairies of Minnesota. Hawk and Jake Owen are appointed by Colonel Sibley to search out and rescue a missionary who had been captured by the Sioux. Follow them through hostile Indian country along the Minnesota frontier to Big Stone Lake, through Brown's Valley, around Lake Traverse and into Dakota Territory. Through their adventures you'll meet Standing Buffalo, the friendly chief of the Sisseton band of Sioux, and Little Crow, Chief of the Mdewakanton band of Sioux and reluctant leader of the hostile warriors.
