Lost And Found In American History
January 2019
|True West
Nebraska had long searched for this piece of its heritage.
For 184 years, it was lost. Then they found a metal military button— eventually, they’d find 39. Then glass trading beads—the first of 434. Then an early 1800s trigger guard, and then they knew: Nebraska investigators had found the 1819-’20 site of a very special winter camp that was named Engineer Cantonment.
The discovery in 2003 was so special, Nebraska State Archaeologist Gayle F. Carlson declared he could “die in peace, now that Engineer Cantonment has been found.”
By the time Carlson died in 2015, the nation knew how special this find was.

What HISTORY HAS TAUGHT ME
For my money the best Western movie is The Searchers. John Ford's masterpiece perfected nearly everything the genre had been to that point and shaped nearly everything that came after. That is true greatness.
