As crazy as this piece of history is and how fast it evolved into deadly conflict, these misconceptions, accusations, and deadly actions still exist today.<br />A very interesting post, Doris.Sarah J.

I would love to know more about your neck of the woods. The more I study the Lake County War, the more convoluted it becomes. Just right up my area of study.

Down here in the far southeastern corner of Colorado, which rubs right up against the area known as "No Man's Land" (Oklahoma panhandle), we have stories of ranchers hiring regulators to deal with cattle rustlers. Local legend has it that 'there never was an honest man who drank from Butte Creek", which is a (now dry) creek that cutsKaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-56760486014816897982015-03-01T17:58:48.249-06:002015-03-01T17:58:48.249-06:00As do I about the one north of us, Kirsten.

Growing up in a farming community, the older people found a captive audience in me. I loved their stories. We do service to our 'teachers' by telling the stories that are in our hearts. Here is to more wonderful stories.

Fictitious stories, but stories that have real life emotions. Stories of heartbreak, loss of loved ones, of hardships endured.

The other facet, states really have shared histories, and I for one, hope to learn more about Oklahoma and Colorado and what they share. So many stories, so many joys.

It's such a shame that we all live in this country and so much history just falls through the cracks--of course, we can't all know everything--but I think it would be great if schools could teach more than just dates and places toCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
