I Shortly after noon, the Indians made
their appearance at Sternlein's near the
Pioneer Nursery and; descended upon
the city at full gallop. They reached
point Immediately. back of the post
office <the old Forster place on Broad
Way and burned down quite a few Of
the log houses on the outskirts of the
city but they were prevented from
getting into the heart of the settlement.
The first help to arrive were seven men
with rifles who came from Nicollet town
ship the same afternoon The same
afternoon very late company arrived
from St. Peter. The next morning a
second company arrived from St. Peter
and Flandreau was elected commander,
and he Immediately appointed S.. A.
George as post adjutant. Strict military
discipline was enforced and martial
law was proclaimed Expeditions were
sent out Aug. 20 into the immediate
neighborhood and to a greater distance
the following two days.
Saturday, August "a the Indians
again attacked New Ulm in large forces
but they were again repulsed with losses.
The fight was kept up during the night
through the firing of occasional shots
and renewed again in the morning but
was suddenly given up on the part of
the Indians who withdrew.
Sunday night it was decided after a
conference to evacuate the city. There
was already scarcity of provisions and
ammunition and too many people were
crowded into the too few houses that
still remained. Besides that, the soldiers
from out of the city were anxious to
return home because they were afraid
that the Indians might attack their own
homes. Monday morning, Aug. 18th,
the city was evacuated.
The community that suffered the
heaviest was the town of Milford, where
on Aug. Is fifty-four men, women and
children were killed within radius of
not to exceed nine miles from New Ulm.
Practically whole families were wiped
out. New Ulm's loss, altho heavy,
did not compare with. the toll exacted
of Milford. 49,
Thru the efforts of the Junior Pioneers,
a monument has been erected to- the
memory of the dead of Milford and Quite

withstand the onslaughts of the savages
Sunday, Aug. II, 1862 was an ideal
day. Major Galbraith, the Indian
agent, came to New Ulm with several
wagon loads Of recruits whom he was
saking to ST. Peter. The Major made a
speech encouraging the people of New
Ulm and vicinity to organize volunteer
company, telling them that it was his
firm conviction that nothing need be
feared from the Indians because he had
complied with their every wish.
Acting upon the suggestion of the
Indian agent steps were taken the same
afternoon to organize a company and
raise funds. Next day party of about
Is men with musicians and flags started
through Milford on recruiting mission.
When they reached Henles Creek they
were fired upon from ambush by the
Indians and three of their party were
killed outright, several were wounded
and the others stopped from advancing
further. Because the members of that
party were unarm ed they decided to
return to New Ulm, and they did So,
bringing their wounded with them.
Word that the Indians were coming

wounded, reaching New Ulm about 10
