Book Trailer: Dogs In The Hot Moon

On August 18, 1862, hundreds of Sioux (Dakota) warriors under the reluctant leadership of Taoyateduta, the Little Crow, broke out from their reservation. Slaughtering over 500 whites and half-breeds in a two-month reign of terror, the Sioux left dozens of native raiders hanging from a common gallows. Relying on historical documents and family records, Dogs in the Hot Moon brings to life the plight of the Dakota nation at that time, the brutality of the massacre that was finally ignited over a pair of brown chicken eggs, and the struggle of the young state's white leadership to contain the uprising in the face of Union demands for soldiers to quell the Rebellion in the south.
