Excerpt from History of Story County, Iowa, Vol. 1: A Record of Organization, Progress and Achievement Only one serious collision seems to have followed the establishment of this neutral ground. This collision occurred in the eastern part of Kossuth County. Some time in the early fifties, and its story was that a small fishing party of Sioux were there attacked by a large body of Sacs and Foxes. Who had been camping at Clear Lake and who learned of the proximity of the smaller party of the Sioux. The Sacs and Foxes made a night march to the camp of the Sioux. Attacked the camping party in the early morning. And allowed no one to get away to tell the tale. Captain Ingham. Father of the editor of the Register and Leader. Ran upon the scene of this mas sacre a few years later and found there the skeletons of the unfortunate Sioux. Those of the children being huddled and each of them chipped as to the skull. Where the tomahawk had struck. This incident occurred after the settlement of Story County; but the fact that only one incident of this sort is definitely recorded. Illustrates in part why there is no Indian history of Story County. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
