Ann Pyle I attended Mrs Switzer's ninety second birthday some years ago, in Nicodemus. Her family came from both coasts. A lovely group of family and friends celebrated with her. This town has gotten better upkeep than other Kansas towns this size.

Gilda Agostinone There's still a lot of true info on how things really were. Try and read them before the revisionists get ahold of all our history. There are great, fantastic stories of courage in the face of sheer terrorist tactics.

Molly Ott didn’t realize she was a modern-day “homesteader” who would repeat a 150-year-old legacy when she moved her family from Phoenix, Arizona, in 2004 to the original end of the Oregon Trail—The Dalles, Oregon.
