The intertwining story of three generations of German immigrants to the Midwest—their clashes with slaveholders, the Dakota uprising and its aftermath—is seen through the eyes of young Asa Senger, named for an uncle killed by an Indian friend. It is the unexpected appearance of Asa's aunt Hazel, institutionalized since shortly after the mass hangings of thirty-eight Dakota warriors in Mankato in 1862, that reveals to him that the past is as close as his own heartbeat.

The Night Birds
4 🤕 🤕 🤕 🤕
I have a picture of my great great grandparents and their nine children. They immigrated to Minnesota from Europe to claim land and farm shortly after the time period of this story. They look severe, unhappy, and worn out. I bet they had some stories to tell.
Little house on the prairie this most definitely is not. If there was any romantic notion left in me about coming of age or homesteading in late 1800s America it has been chewed up, spit out, and consumed by locusts.
A worthy and brutal historical fiction read where no one is spared, not the Native Americans, not the animals or children, and certainly not the reader. Despite the author's vain attempt to reward those of us still reading with a bone via the epilogue, it beat the buffalo chips out of me. I wonder if my ancestors ever wished they could return from whence they came?
