"On December 6 (1862) President Lincoln notified Sibley that he should
"cause to be executed" thirty-nine of the 303 convicted Santees...
Execution date was the 26th of December... At the last minute, one
Indian was given a reprieve.....About ten o'clock the thirty eight
condemned men were marched from the prison to the scaffold. They sang
the Sioux death song until soldiers pulled white caps over their heads
and placed nooses around their necks. At a signal from an army officer,
the control rope was cut amd thirty-eight Santee Sioux dangled lifeless
in the air.... a spectator boasted that this was "America's greatest
public execution."
