For those wishing to explore the subject further, there's a new book on this historical event: *38 Nooses: Lincoln, Little Crow, and the Beginning of the Frontier's End,* by Scott W. Berg.
Full disclosure: Scott is a friend of mine, but I'm writing this comment wholly on my own. And the acclaim *38 Nooses* has received is solely on its own merits -- it's gotten stellar reviews from *USA Today,* the *Los Angeles Times,* the *Dallas News,* and *the Daily Beast.* And Kirkus Reviews named *38 Nooses* one of its "Best Nonfiction Books of 2012."
