[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 1226614, member: 9169"] We are close to the Missouri River so it's marked as the "Lewis and Clark trail". The expedition could have tramped over our land but we'll never know for sure. A few miles to the southeast, the town of Lexington, there is a civil war cannonball still stuck in one of the columns of the courthouse. It's waaaay up high or somebody would have added it to their "private collection" a long time ago I'm sure. In more recent history, our area used to grow LOTS of potatoes and ship them back east to the population centers via rail cars. They used POW labor during the WW II days. One newspaper article from that time I have read, reported that a German POW had escaped from the camp, but within a couple days turned himself in to a farm wife because he was hungry, lost and being eaten alive by skeeters and chiggers. We have some big, black river bottom skeeters that can bite right thru most clothing. [/QUOTE]
