The 1862 Dakota War And Its Aftermath
Minnesota state representative, retired teacher and author Dean Urdahl discusses the 1862 Dakota War and Its Aftermath.
Urdahl not only has a family history directly tied to this conflict, considered to be a dark period in our state’s history that still resonates today, but he has published two historical-fiction books based on his 30 years of researching and documenting the subject. Uprising and Retribution are Urdhal’s first two books on the subject, with the final book Pursuit expected to be published in 2011.
Jo McMullen discusses his life-long research and historical writing with Dean Urdahl after a presentation he gave at the Stearns History Center in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
