Excellent history lesson, Harold![tup] <br /> <br />Now a 'trivia" question for you: <br />Do you know, or could you direct me to a website with, information about <i>which railroad</i> was built thru the town of DeSmet, South Dakota in the late 1870's? The reason I am interested is because DeSmet is the home town of Laura Ingalls Wilder who wrote the "Little House" book series (which later was the basis of a popular TV show "Little House on the Prairie"). I've been reading these books to my 6yr-old daughter as bedtime stories, and they contain some very fascinating passages about this early railroad.
