Andrew Myrick
Andrew J. Myrick (May 28, 1832 – August 18, 1862), was a trader who, with his Dakota wife (Winyangewin/Nancy Myrick), operated a store in southwest Minnesota near the Minnesota River in the late part of his life.
==Claim to fame==
Myrick had stores at the Yellow Medicine and Redwood Agencies. When a group of Dakota Indians appeared at the Yellow Medicine Agency and started to take the food in the warehouse that was promised through annuity payments on August 4th, 1862, Indian Agent Thomas Galbraith issued some of the food but told the Dakota the rest would have to wait until the money owed to them arrived. Payments to the Dakota Indians had not been made, partly because of delays caused by the American Civil War and possibly because Mary Todd Lincoln had over spent decorating and cleaning the Executive mansion. She spent the entire four year budget allocated by Congress in a matter of months and she tried to cover it up; when Lincoln found out he was livid and immediately dispatched Congress to quietly approve two appropriations to pay her bills, and the money had to come from somewhere. After the decision to wait to issue more of the annuity food was made by Galbraith, he turned to the store owners and workers and asked them what they were intending to do. Myrick had been informed that the "traders paper" that allowed the traders to be paid right from the annuity allotments for what they were owed on credit was not going to be allowed this time,so he responded that they would give no more credit at the stores and "So far as I am concerned, if they are hungry let them eat grass or their own dung." He made this retort while involved in a confrontation between Dakota tribesmen, the United States government, and other traders. His comment is considered an inciting factor in the Sioux Uprising that began shortly thereafter.
