Title
The Great panorama of the Indian massacre of Minnesota! will positively be on exhibition at [blank] Hall on [blank] 1864 In 1862 the great Sioux tribes of Minnesota and Dacotah were actors in one of the most savage and cruel massacres that history has ever recorded. Small parties roamed over the entire state, putting one thousand persons to death in the most cruel and barbarous manner--farm-houses entered and whole families put to death. Over 20,000 families, terror-stricken, left their homes, many of them to fall a prey to the red-devils in ambush. The exhibition will consist of the following views! all painted in the best style, and will be shown by a very powerful calcium or Drummond light on a canvas over twenty feet square! ... The whole to conclude with a laughable afterpiece! Admission, 25 cents Doors open at half-past 7 o'clock. To commence at 8
