March of the Governors, Governor #1, Henry Hastings Sibley

Henry Hastings Sibley Podcast Link

This is the first in a new series of podcasts. We call it March of the Governors because we will examine the lives and careers of governors of the State of Minnesota, one by one. We start with our first governor, Henry Sibley, who served from 1858 to 1860.

To learn about the US Dakota War and Sibley’s involvement in it, Ramsey County Historical Society encourages our listeners to further research the circumstances and events leading up to and following this war to better understand the context and the outcomes.
