Hello,
I have been gather information regarding the 1862 Sioux Uprising (Dakota War) & it's connection to settlers who came from Norway in the 1850's.
See link for information on the 150th Aniversary: http://www.startribune.com/local/138264074.html
One of the settlers (Anders Olsen / Olson Bekkedok / Bækkedok 1828-1862) was killed & scalped in the conflict.
See the following links for this individual:

Anders Olsen & Larine Maria Syversd. married on 26 April, 1853

but this is after his documented date of 7 April, 1853, in the Kongsberg departure for America
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1098&idx_id=1098&uid=ny&idx_side=-410
but the marriage states: "Han attest 7/4 53 fra Kongsberg" - which is the same date as the departure...curious.
Can it be determined what the ship & departure date actually was?
Others from the same area in Norway who came in the 1850’s to the same area & were effected by the Uprising were:
