Fighting the Sioux in early Nebraska settlement
An 1808 tale recalls Ohio families settling in the Eichora valley near Dodge County Nebraska after the Union Pacific boom. Sioux attacks force a perilous hiding place in a cabin cellar, as Jack Dragier, aided by his betrothed, Betsie, defend and escape with quick rifle and revolver fire, guiding their horses and fleeing downriver to safety. The ordeal ends with pursuit and refuge, preserving most of the settlement though several families are wiped out.
