But, I didn't think that until after I had been out of school for awhile, and then realized how much I had actually learned from him!

I was looking at the revised version of the book Wounded Knee and found a story about a family and a tribe near here that had a lot of conflicts. A single family invading into an area that caused many deaths by the time everything was through. I found your marker to be very interesting and fit in with the flavor of the book I had checked out.L.

They must all be long gone, too, now that I'm old myself. Thanks for the history lesson.
