Waldo,
Wasn't that big oak tree in Council Grove also the site of a treaty signing with the Native Americans or did I just dream that ?

There was a treaty with the Osage in the 1820s. There was a POW camp there in WWII, also.

This same teacher pointed out the site of the treaty and it was not the same.  I could find the oak tree, but I am not sure about the treaty site.  We were in Council Grove because we were on our way home from Manhattan and she wanted to go through Council Grove just because she had never had a chance to see these places.  I don't remember if we had to go out of our way to get there or if we were going through it anyway to get back to Severy.  It was a nice day, nice company.

I think General Custer camped in Council Grove.    There was a big tree there for years but I think it has now died.

Sorry, I now see the tree was mentioned earlier.   So much for my input.
