At the beginning of the Civil War as Iowa sent troops
south to combat the Confederate Army, the Indian tribes in northern Iowa and Minnesota
took advantage of the absence of soldiers on the frontier and raided the frontier
families. Any that did not retreat to the interior of the state did not survive.
The governors of Iowa and Minnesota set forth the
task of protecting these pioneer families and the Northern Border Brigade was born.
