Moon of the Snow-Blind Spirit Lake

Growing up in Storm Lake, about 60 miles south of Okoboji, we learned the Abby Gardner version of the Spirit Lake massacre. Gary Kelley gives us a fuller picture of a Native people hunted and starved by encroaching White brigades. School children today and adults, should read Kelly's book that puts you in the scene and gives a fairer account of an important chapter in North American History.
