I thought it may be interesting to read a short story on the lands and places we come from.....or where our forefathers grew up. I found this article on New Ulm and Brown County and I even know of some of these names and family's told about from the mid 1800's. Interesting stuff......and the money they had was not much. genealogytrails.com/minn/brown/history_org.htmlI think....with a little research......you can find an interesting story about where you come from or when your area developed. Lets have 'em?

When you look back at my county......we had a major war with the Indians back in 1862. This occurred while the USA was in the civil war. Musta been crazy times. The following is a list of those settlers that were killed in these times. genealogytrails.com/minn/brown/uprising_victims.htmlThe "Sioux uprising" as it was called......resulted in the largest mass hanging in the US. The simultaneous hanging of (18 ?) Sioux Indians occurred in Mankato back in those times. These things were talked about and we taught these lessons in grade school back in the day.
