Hi Folks:
We went down to Fort Robinson, Neb., the home of the 9th. and 10th. Cavalry
(the Buffalo Soldiers), last June, and there was a German POW camp
there...just across the road from the Red Cloud Agency. I guarentee it
ain't 56 degrees mean annual temperature there. In Ft. Robinson's case, the
North-Western got the haul.
