Dakota War of 1862, Camp Release Courthouse

After the Battle of Wood Lake, a group of Dakota chiefs sent Antoine Joseph Campbell, a half Dakota-Scot, to let Sibley know that the captives were safe. During the Dakota War he acted as Little Crow's secretary and interpreted letters between Sibley and Little Crow. Through his actions, he was able to secure the captive's safe release. The Indians released the white settlers and about 150 mixed-blood captives. The surrender ended with about 1200 Indians being taken into custody. Eventually, nearly 2000 Indians were captured or surrendered. They were eventually tried within mass trials at the Camp Release headquarters. History of the Sioux War by Isaac Heard and Henry Benjamin Whipple, 1863 (cropped and cleaned).
