The foreword from the author, Kay St. John, “On August 18, 1862, the Sioux Indians attacked the white settlers in Southern Minnesota. The uprising included two attacks on the small town of New Ulm, Minnesota, eventually causing its evacuation. I have woven my story around what happened to my grandmother Katharine (Kati) Gropper and her family during the ten-day period between August 18th and August 28th. “
