Its called the Ogallala reaervoir and ite most extens

Nebraska. It's one of the largest underground
freshwater reservoirs in the United States.

The aquifer lies beneath portions of eight Great Plains states, including Nebraska and Texas.

It's not an underground lake or cavern filled with water. Instead, water occupies tiny spaces between sand, gravel, and other sediments, rather like water soaking into a sponge

Hard to believe that on one day in 1899, from what they call a BLue Norther, the temperature dropped from 101 to -3 Farenheit!

The calvary is mocked because it said that they didn't do much. The foot soldiers were the ones ahead of the line and encountering all the indians. By the time the cavalry got there they had already made camp. They were reduced to just food gatherers

I kind of knew this already, but the Apache sure sounded like one nasty tribe to deal with

Not sure why they're talking about the canary islands, because they are off the coast of Morocco way over in Africa.

In the book they make it sound like Kentucky was the 14th state. However it was Vermont and Kentucky was the first state from the what was considered to be the South to be admitted

I had to laugh when the author said that the only people that were willing to convert to Christianity for the Indians about ready to die

Evidently the soldiers and friars did not get along well in Texas

It was pointed out in the book that San Antonio used to be Bahar It was pointed out in the book that San Antonio used to be Bexar And that's probably why the county is called the same nowadays
