OK, it was just a thought since we had so many around here at one time, The north Fork of the Big Blue where the dams were for Crete and Milford though are only about 75 feet wide bank to bank and most places you can ford it with out getting your belt wet.

I can't get the video up, but I think that Pioneer Village in Minden Nebraska has one, been a long time since I've been there. They have an after market one built around a Model T for sure.

Hello, I ain't been here in a while, but had some time and thought I would stop by.
One thought maybe, up here in south east Nebraska some of the towns had small power plants on both the Big Blue and Little Blue Rivers. I have been to several of these sites near Milford, Crete and Fairbury. Could that have been what the dam was originally built for?

Interesting, the scouts to my understanding were a mix of Osage and Tonkawa's on that trip. As far as I know they were just Abraroka (Crow) and Arikara at the Little Big Horn.
BTW Custer has been given a lot of flak over that attack on a "friendly" village. How ever a raiding party was tracked to the camp by the scouts and a white woman and child were killed by Indian women during the attack rather than let them be re-captured. Like many such incedents out of the era I leave any conclusions to you.

It is said that George often said Tom should have been the General, George had Tom arrested once during the war, tom refused to go back for medical aid when wounded.

Several states back east still have that law and enforce it, Virgina comes to mind right off the top of my head.

Once was enough here. 
As an aside folks often ask me what I think is a very Period Correct movie scene, well if I could combine 2 I'd think I could be close, take the kids from John Wayne's the cowboys and put them in the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles, boys ain't changed that much in a 125 years.

No matter what you think of the man, he wasn't afraid to dive in and lead an attack.
