Over 150 years ago; the area now known as Chadron was vast; open grassland. Nearby water sources; Chartran Creek and Bordeaux Creek; were named for the French fur traders whose main customers were nomadic tribes the French called the Sioux. When gold was discovered in the Black Hills; the area quickly changed. The military outposts Fort Robinson and Camp Sheridan were established to control Indian Agencies for Red Clouds and Spotted Tails bands. Cattle replaced buffalo on the rich grasslands. The railroad pushed its way west; and the rest; as they say; is history.

FoertschbeckI purchase several of this series of photo-books on East Baltimore neighborhoods - Fells Point. Highlandtown. Dundalk. Essex. and Patterson Park. Each book is a unique collection of old photographs appropriately annotated. Anyone growing up in these neighborhoods or currently living there should really appreciate the efforts of the authors in collecting old photos. many from the 1800s. Even found a couple of photos of old friends. relatatives of friends that make these books even more valuable to me.
