Oh, sorry... I didn't know you wanted a response. Yes, Easter of 1882 was a tough time back on the farm. Most of the Crow warrior bands had gone to the reservation, not so much killing as there used to be just raiding and robbing.
Pa started on the frame house that spring. We had been living in the sod dugout up until then. Except the girls, they moved into the loft of the barn as soon as that was built.
Some itinerant Methodists come around from time to time and folks would go to the revivals. Of course there was no dancing allowed for several weeks after such a meeting. Pa's drinking became more secretive too. It was a tough winter - lots of cold but not enough snow. The cisterns in the bluffs are low and pasture for the cows will be sparse.
Well, that's the news from the farm.
