BY NATHNIAL WEST, D.D. FIRST EDITION FINE CONDITION Protected in a clear, acid-free, Mylar dust jacket. Exceptionally Sharp, Bright, Clean, Solidly Bound, Original, Antique Book Frontispiece of General Sibley in Uniform; Illustrated Throughout Appendix Contains Official Political and Military Correspondence of Sibley PUBLISHED BY PIONEER PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY, St. PAUL, MINNESOTA, IN 1889 Henry Hastings Sibley was the first Governor of the U.S. State of Minnesota and a U.S. Representative of the Minnesota Territory and the Wisconsin Territory. He served in the state militia during the Civil War fighting Indians in the upper Minnesota River area and in Dakota. Sibley’s political life began when he was elected to represent Wisconsin Territory to the 30th U.S. Congress, after Wisconsin became a state on May 29, 1848. The position was eliminated with the creation of the Territory of Minnesota on March 3, 1849 and he was subsequently elected as the first representative of the Minnesota Territory’s At-Large Congressional district, serving in the 31st and 32nd congresses from July 7, 1849 – March 3, 1853. Sibley was elected to the Minnesota Territorial House of Representatives, convened from January to March 1855, as the representative of Dakota County. He was a member of the Democratic Party wing of the first Minnesota Constitutional Convention, of which he eventually became president. In 1858 Sibley was elected as the first governor of the state and served from May 24, 1858, until January 2, 1860. In 1862, after the American Civil War began, Sibley was appointed Colonel of the state militia. He was directed to the upper Minnesota River to protect exposed settlements from the Sioux Indians. After the massacre at Acton, August 18, 1862, he was involved in the battles of Birch Coulee and Wood Lake. This last engagement was a decisive battle. It resulted in Sioux bands’ releasing about 250 captive whites. In the action, the militia captured 2,000 Sioux, both men and women. Of these captives, 321 warriors were tried for capital crimes and 303 were sentenced to death. For gallantry in the field, Sibley was promoted to Brigadier-General of volunteers, September 29, 1862. In 1863, he led a second successful expedition against the Sioux in the Dakota Territory. This campaign included the battles of Big Mound, Dead Buffalo Lake and Stony Lake. Sibley continued to defend the western frontier in 1864 to 1865. On November 29, 1865, he was brevetted as Major General of the volunteers. He was relieved from the command of the district of Minnesota in August 1866 after the Civil War ended. After his military service, Sibley was active in settling several Indian treaties. Upon reentering business life in St. Paul, he served as president of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the president of several railroads, banks, and other large corporations. He became a member of the Minnesota Historical Society in 1849 and eventually served as president. In 1867, he was appointed to the board of visitors to the U.S. Military Academy. He served as president of the board of regents of the University of Minnesota and President of the Board of Indian commissioners from 1875 to 1876. He died in St. Paul in 1891.
