PARKER'S CROSSROADS
Parker's Crossroads, a decisive battle in the Battle of the Bulge four days before Christmas in 1944, was Jack Ebbott's personal "crossroads." This is his story, which traces his life from its privileged beginning to its tragic conclusion--a journey he had not anticipated; an odyssey of unspeakable horrors, of depravity and suffering as a POW in German prison camps. As a combat medic, he attended to the deaths of his fellow prisoners and was a witness to the abject cruelty of his captors. Jack Ebbott and a group of allied prisoners were taken to a remote rail siding; there, ordered to dig a deep hole in the frozen ground. A boxcar was left at the siding when the hole was dug. The doors were opened, revealing the bodies of children stacked in cordwood. On the threat of death, the prisoners were ordered to bury the children in the hole. A few of the children still flickered with life. Up to this moment, Jack Ebbott thought that he'd witnessed the full extent of his captors' savagery. But this act hurdled beyond it all.
Descendants of Isaac Schneider, 1786-1879
Isaac Schneider (1786-1879) was the son of Johann Heinrich Schneider (1747-1825) and Verena Rohr (1749-1816) of Suhr, Canton Aargau, Switzerland. He married twice: (1) Elisabeth Styner (1796-1845) and Susanna Hauri Baumann (1809-1862). He was a farmer and the president of the community council. Of his sixteen children, eight came to North America. Three of his sons from his first marriage, Jacob, Isaac and Abraham emigrated to the US in 1847 and settled in Missouri Canada and Ohio. Later, Abraham #1 resettled in Richland Twp., Jones Co., Iowa. Jacob #1 settled on a farm near Cascade, Iowa. Jacob #2 (b.1851) emigrated in 1872 and settled at Monticello, Iowa. Isaac #2 (b.1853) emigrated with his brother Jacob and at Monticello. Isaac Sr. raised two different families, each with an Isaac, Jacob and Abraham in them. Several generations of ancestors and descendants are given for the various family surnames.
The Infamous Dakota War Trials of 1862
The U.S.–Dakota War, the bloodiest Indian war of the 19th century, erupted in southwestern Minnesota during the summer of 1862. In the war’s aftermath, a hastily convened commission of five army officers conducted trials of 391 Indians charged with murder and massacre. In 36 days, 303 Dakota men were sentenced to death. In the largest simultaneous execution in American history, 38 were hanged on a single gallows on December 26, 1862—an incident now widely considered an act of revenge rather than judicial punishment. Providing fresh insight into this controversial event, this book examines the Dakota War trials from the perspective of 19th century military law. The author discusses the causes and far-reaching consequences of the war, the claims of widespread atrocities, the modern debate over the role of culture in lawful warfare and how the war has been depicted by historians.
The Extraordinary Book of Native American Lists
While Native Americans are perhaps the most studied people in our society, they too often remain the least understood and visible.

In this volume, readers can learn about Native figures from a diverse range of cultures and professions, including award-winning athletes, authors, filmmakers, musicians, and environmentalists. Readers are introduced to Native U.S. se...
History Lover's Guide to Minneapolis, A
Minneapolis began at the Falls of St. Anthony, the sole waterfall on the Mississippi River. The cataract, the great hydrological engine, propelled the city's economic growth and physical expansion, and two distinct municipal identities emerged. A city of seasons, Minneapolis celebrates winter flurries and chills with ice skating and hot chocolate at the annual Holidazzle Festival. In the sultry midsummer heat, the Aquatennial brings swimmers and boating enthusiasts to the Chain of Lakes and the river. Landmarks, too, define the topography-Spoonbridge and Cherry, the Stone Arch and Hennepin Avenue Bridges, the Foshay Tower and the IDS Center. Join local authors Sherman Wick and Holly Day on a trip beyond the typical guidebook as they explore the architecture, parks and historical figures of the Mill City.
