We invite you to comment and participate on this site by sharing your family's stories. Email me and they will be added on this page. If you are a descendant of anyone involved in the conflict, whether a victim, captive, escapee, soldier, or survivor, or are simply a friend who shares an interest, please let us know.

To date, we have located 13 descendant families that were neighbors in the Birch Coulee / Beaver Creek area in 1862. The date has been set for a descendants get-together in Renville County. We will gather on Labor Day weekend, 2012. At that time, we will dedicate a memorial marker honoring the victims of the Birch Coulee / Beaver Creek area. Plans are now being made for a reception to follow. Watch this site for more details.
