Stampede Threatens Emigrant Camp on Dry Loup Fork
A vast stampede roars across Nebraska’s dry Loup Fork after a waterless noon. A thirsty emigrant party of twelve wagons and about a dozen families faces sudden chaos as a herd of buffalo, driven by a bull, charges their camp. Horses panic, rifles fire, and the camp vanishes under the onrushing wave, leaving no sign of life for the stunned travelers. Nearby items note Pierre’s speculative boom, a fast mail race, debt arrest of a widow, and various society rumors.
