Lunch & a Bite of History: The Infamous Dakota War Trials of 1862

This activity is sponsored by the Junior Pioneers of New Ulm and Vicinity and the New Ulm Public Library and made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Join us for a special presentation by author John Haymond as he discusses his book The Infamous Dakota War Trials of 1862: Revenge, Military Law, and the Judgement of History. Haymond offers a fresh perspective on the U.S.-Dakota War and the controversial military trials that followed, which led to the largest mass execution in U.S. history. Drawing on his expertise in 19th-century military law, Haymond explores the causes of the war, the legality of the trials, and the lasting impact on American history and historical memory.
