Geocache Description:

This cache is to take you to a historic marker. Best parking is probably at the field access just west of the cache.

This marker marks one of the historic sites of the U.S. - Dakota Conflict of 1862. Several wagons accompanied by a brass band left New Ulm on August 18, 1862 to recruit volunteers for the Civil War. The procession was ambushed at a bridge over a ravine near this spot. Four members of the party were killed.
