The story of war and captivity in 1862 Minnesota.
In 1862 ten young Lakota men, who became known as the “Fool Soldiers,” rescued Lake Shetek white captives, including two women and six children. Here is their story, told through living descendants of the captives and their rescuers, who met after nearly 150 years of separation.
