  Andrew Myrick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew J. Myrick (died August 18, 1862), was a trader who operated a store in southwest Minnesota near the Minnesota River in the late part of his life.
When the tribesmen appealed to Myrick to allow them to take food on credit, he said, "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.
Myrick was killed on the second day of fighting as Dakota warriors took revenge at the agency settlement.

At an August 15, 1862 meeting attended by Dakota representatives, Indian Agent Thomas Galbraith, and representatives of the traders, the traders resisted pleas to distribute provisions held in agency warehouses to starving Dakota until the annuity payments finally arrived.

 Fern Mathias Tribute
The prevailing attitude of the US government and the majority of the settlers in 1862 is represented by a famous quote from one of the government traders who operated in our territory.
"If they are hungry," said Andrew Myrick, "let them eat grass or their own dung." They weren't hungry, they were starving due to government corruption, and most felt that of the two options available to them, fighting was better than starving to death.
Three hundred and ninety-two Dakota men were tried after this three-month fight for survival, the trials having proceeded at a rate of one prisoner every ten minutes.

You are afraid of the white man. You are afraid to take even an egg from him, though you are half-starved." I believe this account because of a previous documentation how Andrew Myrick, spokesman for the traders was quoted saying, "So far as I am concerned, if they are hungry, let them eat grass".
