Good luck finding a copy of Goldie's books. I am told that occasionally one turns up on eBay. They were privately published. What you would be looking for is Vol. II. I have the 1972 edition; John has a later one. published in the mid-1970s. I believe you can get access to all of Goldie's work through the Mormon Family History Libraries.
Yes, Eunice was Phoebe Adair's daughter. Sorry, it was late at night <G>. Eunice and Roland were first cousins.
This is what Marion says in the introduction to his book about the 1892 uprising:
"Having been often asked the cause of my interest in Indian affairs, so long passed, an explanation is given. Coming to Southern Minnesota in 1863, the spring after the outbreak, my boyhood days were filled with its narratives, in which acquaintances were often participants. A daughter of Capt. Ambrose Freeman was my aunt; Wm. Everett and daughter Lily, survivors of Shetek, and Mrs. Esther Gunn, a refugee, were townsmen; similar conditions have excited my interest continually; while writing historical sketches in newspaper work so many errors and falsifications were found that a personal investigation was determined upon. A card system was arranged for every possible victim; each name was the subject of diligent search."
Not using Microsoft Word, and writing long before Strunk & White, it's obvious that Marion was never admonished against using passive voice <G>.
The 2001 reprint was done by Don Heinrich Tolzmann. The book came to his attention when he was translating and editing material on the history of New Ulm, where two of the battles took place, and he realized the importance of the documentation Marion had put together about 50 years after the event. The book had been out of print since the 1920s. If you look on amazon.com you will find a couple of used copies of the 2001 reprint, plus (to my surprise, when I looked) copies of the original printing plus several smaller, earlier publications that appear to have been consolidated into this book.
