What is the country of origin for the Monson Lake State Park and the Dakota War of 1862?
Dakota War of 1862 The Dakota War of 1862, also known as the Sioux Uprising, Dakota Uprising, the Sioux Outbreak of 1862, the Dakota Conflict, the U.S.–Dakota War of 1862 or Little Crow's War, was an armed conflict between the United States and several bands of Dakota (also known as the eastern 'Sioux'). It began on August 17, 1862, along the Minnesota River in southwest Minnesota. The war saw extensive attacks on hundreds of settlers and immigrants, and caused many to flee. Intense desire for immediate revenge ended with the mass execution of 38 Dakota men on December 26, 1862, in Mankato, Minnesota.
Lost Dakota Lost Dakota is a portion of land that was left over after the division of the Dakota Territory into other states in the late 19th century. About 11 square miles in size, the parcel was located at the tripoint between the modern states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The patch of land existed as a remote exclave of Dakota Territory, 360 miles west of the rest of the territory. In 1873, it was transferred to Gallatin County, Montana Territory. Lost Dakota is extremely remote from civilization and completely undeveloped, without a road or even a footpath as of 2010.
