INDIAN TELLS
OF HARD FIGHTS
Northumberland describes Two
Attacks On Old Fort
Rid9ely
ACCIDENTS HELPED THE WHITES
Once Failed to Charge and
Next Day Attacked De-
tenders Too Soon

Have you heard the story of the
two battles of Fort Ridgely, August
20 and %, 1862 from the Indians
standpoint? AS far as known there
is only one Indian now living who
took part in that memorable strug-
gle. For this reason the following
account from an eye witness who
fought on the Indian side is highly
interesting. In few years partici-
pants on both sides will have passed
a way and only these written accounts
will endure. The following is the
account of the fightsas told by Hachin-
wakanda:
1.-THE evening of the second day OF
the Sioux war august 49,, the In
dams came into Kagaw Chestin's
little Crow village west Of the
Lower Sioux Agency. opposite where
the village of Morton now stands.

been killed had gone to Esa Tonka

Tonka (Big Eagle) favored the attack
on these two places, but the other
two chiefs, Wapasha (Wabasha) and
Wapecouta (Leaf Shooter). would
not agree, because Wabasha was
Jealous of Little Grow.
"They sat up all night with their
blankets around them until the sun
was just coming up in the morning
when they announced to US young
men that Wapasha and Wapecouta
would not go, but we were to get
ready Immediately to fight the white
men at the Fort and New Ulm. The

but each carried something to eat in
his logging sash and we ate in the
middle of the day while fighting.
The plan'of attack was the same as
on first battle, three big shots from
the north. followed by rush of men
on the east, south and westall at the
same time.
Grow Gave Strict Orders
Little Crow had given strict or
ders on account of the FIRST failure.
Just before all was in readiness three
young men belonging to Medicine
Bottles party on the northeast side
of the creek saw mail carrier COM
ing into the Fort on the Wakzupata
New Ulm) road, shot at him but
didn't kill him, then shot twice more
and killed him.
This the men on thesouth and west
heard and took for the signal, ran
up to the top Of the hill, and began
shooting. By the time the others
had commenced. the big guns were
! fired at them, (the one on the south
and west). who then ran back under
the hill, by this time all were shoot
ing, most all of US being hid.
Saw More Soldiers
We saw many more soldiers than
were there the first attack but kept
up shooting until dark. During the
day many small buildings wereburned
and we tried to burn the big ones
with fire arrows. Some were burn
ing, when a rain put out the fire.
The sun was now getting low and
after we saw the men on the south
and west driven back by the big guns
and could see Little Grow and his
men going to the northwest, we de.

Little Crow told Us there was nj

three hurt, two dying afterward.
We ran back into thecreek and didn' t
know whether the other men would
come up close or not but they did
and the big guns drove them back
from that direction.
IF we had known they would come
up close we could have shot at the
same time and killed all, as the SOL
diers were out in big opening be-
tween the buildings. We did not
fight like white men, with one officer;
we all shot as we pleased. The plan
of rushing into the buildings was
given up, and we shotat the windows
mostly at the big stone building, as
we thought many of the whites were
in there. We could not see them, so
were not sure We were killing any.
Tried Fire Arrows
During the shooting we tried to
set fire to the buildings with fire
arrows, but the buildings would not
burn. so we had to get more powder
and bullets. The sun was about two
hours high when we went around to
the west of the Fort and decided to
go back to Little Crows village and
come back and keep up the fighting
next day.
After leaving the Fort weburied
the two who were killed. There
were about 400 Indians in this attack.
They all stayed at Little Crows Will
age.

morning, arriving at Little Crows

On War Path at Sunrise

On War Path at Sunrise
1--WE started at sunrise and crossed
the river at the agency on the ferry.
following the road to the top of the
hill below Faribault's creek, where
we stopped for short rest. There
the plans for attacking the Fort was
given out by Little Grow.
1T was agreed to follow the road
and ridge along the bluff to thecreek
west of the Fort, (Makaiyutapi-
yomni-wakpada) Three Mile creek.
Then those on foot were to go dir
ectly east to the creek which runs
around the Fort, then follow the
creek down to the north and east
side of the Fort. These men were
under Big Eagle and Medicine Bottle.
The men on horseback with Little
Grow and Little Six were togo down
the creek to the river bottom then
follow the old crossing road up to the
bluff south and west of the Fort.
Arranged For Signal
After reaching the Fort. the sig
nal, three big shots (volleys), to be
given by Medicine Bottles men to
draw the attention and fire of the
soldiers, so the men on the east, Big
Eagles, and those on the west and
south, Little Crows and Little Skis
could rush in and take the Fort.
1--WE reached the Three Mile creek
before noon and cooked something to
eat. After eating we separated, /
going with the footmen to the north
and after leaving Little Crow we
paid no attention to the chiefs; every
one did as he pleased. Both parties
reached the Fortabout the same time

west. Little Grow on black pony.

shooting we ran up to the buildings
near the big stone one. AS we were
running in we saw the man with the

we were the only ones in sight he
shot into us, as he had got ready
after hearing the shooting in our
direction.

shot at us would have been killed.
