Usher Lloyd Burdick (February 21, 1879 - August 19, 1960) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from North Dakota. Burdick moved with his parents to Dakota Territory in 1882. He graduated from the North Dakota State at Mayville in 1900. He was deputy superintendent of schools of Benson County from 1900 to 1902. He graduated from University of Minnesota Law School in 1904, was admitted to the state bar in 1904 and commenced practice in Munich, North Dakota. He served as a member of the North Dakota House of Representatives from 1907 to 1911, serving as speaker in 1909. He moved to Williston in 1907 and continued the practice of law. He was the eighth Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota from 1911 to 1913, state's attorney of Williams County from 1913 to 1915, and served as assistant United States district attorney for North Dakota from 1929 to 1932. Burdick also engaged in livestock breeding and farming and was an author. In 1932, Burdick was elected president of the Farmers' Holiday Association, an association which advocated strikes for farmers, and which took direct action against farm foreclosures. Burdick was elected as a Republican to the 74th Congress and to the four succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1935-January 3, 1945). He was supportive of Native American issues. Burdick was elected to the 81st Congress and to the four succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1949-January 3, 1959). Sitting Bull was a fascinating, but controversial figure in the political history of relationships between the First Nations and the U.S. Government. Author Usher L. Burdick illuminates the human factor in the tragic events leading up to the death of Sitting Bull and the aftermath at Wounded Knee, building from the correspondence and papers of Indian Agent James McLaughlin. Congressman Usher L. Burdick (1879-1960) first published "The Last Days of Sitting Bull" in 1941. The author stated "This narrative is intended to be as near to the actual facts of the matter, as it will ever be possible to record it. It remains for each reader to make his own estimate of Sitting Bull." Sitting Bull (1831 - December 15, 1890) was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who led his people during years of resistance against United States government policies. He was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him, at a time when authorities feared that he would join the Ghost Dance movement. Before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull had a vision in which he saw many soldiers, "as thick as grasshoppers," falling upside down into the Lakota camp, which his people took as a foreshadowing of a major victory in which many soldiers would be killed. About three weeks later, the confederated Lakota tribes with the Northern Cheyenne defeated the 7th Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer on June 25, 1876, annihilating Custer's battalion and seeming to bear out Sitting Bull's prophetic vision. Sitting Bull's leadership inspired his people to a major victory. In response, the U.S. government sent thousands more soldiers to the area, forcing many of the Lakota to surrender over the next year. Sitting Bull refused to surrender, and in May 1877, he led his band north to Wood Mountain, North-Western Territory (now Saskatchewan). He remained there until 1881, at which time he and most of his band returned to U.S. territory and surrendered to U.S. forces. After working as a performer with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, Sitting Bull returned to the Standing Rock Agency in South Dakota. Due to fears that he would use his influence to support the Ghost Dance movement, Indian Service agent James McLaughlin at Fort Yates ordered his arrest. During an ensuing struggle between Sitting Bull's followers and the agency police, Sitting Bull was shot in the side and head by Standing Rock policemen Lieutenant Bull Head and Red Tomahawk, after the police were fired upon by Sitting Bull's supporters. His body was taken to nearby Fort Yates for burial. In 1953, his Lakota family exhumed what were believed to be his remains, reburying them near Mobridge, South Dakota, near his birthplace.
