Iron Face

Written in the 1850's by Henry Hastings Sibley, recorded first hand from Iron Face, a half-breed Sioux warrior and scout. Frazer, also was a half-breed born and raised in a Sioux village. Includes information on the Black Hawk War and the Minnesota Massacre. Vestal says, We are lucky, I think, to have this story in any form. Its chief service is a tool to help us understand a kind of life now gone forever. Stanley Vestal states that this volume presents a close-up picture of the Indians. Jack Frazer was a half-breed whose Sioux name was Iron Face.
