During the 1860's, there was more going on than the Civil War. This is a true story that has been fictionalized to improve entertainment value.
Hearing the hoofbeats of 20 horses entering the yard at the front of her house, Mattea pulled the lead rope, releasing the cow she was milking and ran into the house to find five Sioux braves wearing war paint sitting at her table, smoking her husband's tobacco from the humidor on the mantle.
Mattea repressed her anger and shock. 'Cinder Horse, why have you come to my home? And coming in without being invited.'
'Fire Hair' he responded, blowing out a large smoke ring as he stood beside the table, 'we are here to give you your life. A war has started and today, this land is going to be washed clean with the blood of the whites, and they will be swept away by the people.'
'Remember,' he commanded in a stern voice, 'do not go near the lodges of the settlement! Do not go near the Post Road and do not give an alarm or you and your children will die.'
He prodded her with the tip of his war lance. 'Go! Go to your mother!'
In the days that followed, 677 unsuspecting settlers and 77 army troops were killed in western Minnesota during the Sioux uprising of 1862.
