Ingvald Thorsen Bakke came to Kenyon, Minnesota, from Hemsedal, Norway, in April, 1962. He enlisted in the army at Garden City following the outbreak of the Dakota Conflict. He is listed as Ingval Thorsen in the register. Ingvald was mustered out with his unit and returned to Kenyon where he married and raised a family. In 1883, he homesteaded in West End Township, Richland County, Dakota Territory. Around 1910, he sold his farm and homesteaded near Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan, Canada. Ingvald was captured once but managed to escape by rubbing onions on his shoes, thereby throwing the dogs that were sent to find him. Finally, he managed to cross a stream and return to his unit. Ingvald suffered from intestinal ailments his entire life as a result of the war.

Robert is my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather. He was born in Scotland in 1825. Served for three years in the 10th Minnesota Infantry, company F. I have a tintype with the images of 5 men in Union uniforms, including Robert Beith. I am in search of the families of the other 4 men! My assumption is that the other men are in company F but I am far from sure. Maybe they were in the 10th Minnesota Infantry as well, but not company F. Contact me for more details - I have scanned the tintype and will certainly share. Hope to be able to share with descendants of the other 4 soldiers/compare images of the men. Tess

He was also part of the LeSueur Tigers and was at the Battle of New Ulm.
