&ldquo;Impressive. . . . Berg crafts a heady narrative. . . .Alongside his portrait of Lincoln [and Little Crow], Berg makes vivid his other protagonists.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today&ldquo;Scott W. Berg reminds us. . . that the Civil War was only part of the nation&rsquo;s crises in that era. . . . Berg does a remarkable job with the story and its aftermath.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;An engrossing account of this tragic episode in American history. . . . Berg&rsquo;s finely grained portraits put a human face on that terrible time.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune&ldquo;A moving story of an event enveloped within the most calamitous four years in American annals. . . . Superb.&rdquo; &mdash;Dallas Morning News&ldquo;Berg positions the book with the perfect focal length, tight enough to include fascinating and fleshed-out characters such as Little Crow . . . and Lincoln himself, but also wide enough to capture the moral arc of the entire nation.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Beast&#160;&ldquo;A gripping narrative of this little-known conflict and a careful exploration of the relationships between events of the Civil War and America&rsquo;s expansion west.... Although the reader knows the eventual outcome of these battles&mdash;near extermination of Indian tribes and cultures&mdash;Berg maintains suspense about individual fates to round out this nuanced study of a complex period.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;A captivating tale of an oft-overlooked, morally ambiguous moment in American history.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)&ldquo;[Berg] strives successfully to present a balanced narrative of the conflict while providing excellent portrayals of some of the key participants. This is a valuable . . . account of an obscure but important episode in our history.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;While Union and Confederate armies clashed at Bull Run and Antietam, another epochal&mdash;but largely forgotten&mdash;American struggle was being fought a thousand miles to the northwest. In vivid, often lyrical prose, Scott W. Berg tells a story of courage and ruthlessness, mercy, and retribution.&rdquo; &mdash;Adam Goodheart, author of 1861&#160;&ldquo;Rarely do I find great storytelling based on rigorous research. In 38 Nooses, Scott W. Berg hits both marks.&rdquo; &mdash;Carrie Reber Zeman, co-editor, A Thrilling Narrative of Indian Captivity: Dispatches from the Dakota War&ldquo;38 Nooses shines new light on a little known and tragic chapter in American history. Thoroughly researched, richly detailed, this compelling narrative gives &lsquo;The Battle Hymn of Freedom&rsquo; a new and ironic connotation. You will never think of the events of 1862-63 and Lincoln&rsquo;s leadership in quite the same way again.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert Morgan, author of Lions of the West&ldquo;38 Nooses vividly shows the pressures facing Dakota Indians in 1862, the pent-up conflicts between white settlers and Native people in the Upper Midwest, and the stretched resources and flawed judgments of local and federal officials during the Civil War years. In spellbinding fashion, Scott W. Berg tells a previously neglected story with tragic historical reverberations.&rdquo; &mdash;Jack El-Hai, author of The Lobotomist and Lost Minnesota
