Anyone know about this?
"One Minneapolis One Read is Minneapolis’ community read where
everyone is invited to read the same book. This year’s book is 'Spirit Car:
Journey to a Dakota Past' by Minnesotan Diane Wilson. Wilson grew up in a
Minneapolis suburb and then followed questions about her family's past to South
Dakota and Nebraska, where she tracked down information about her maternal
relatives through five generations. The result of Wilson's quest for discovery
is 'Spirit Car,' a book of vignettes she created in her desire to honor the
lives of her Dakota Indian family. The story of Wilson’s family begins with a
vivid account of the 1862 Dakota War in Minnesota and then follows her family
members' nomadic travels across South Dakota and Nebraska in their struggle to
survive."
