 News: August 17, 2001 (Walnut Grove, Minneapolis)
Anyway, New Ulm is also one of the oldest towns in southern Minnesota, and it's one of the few towns in the U.S. that was sacked by Indians during the Indian wars of the 1800's.
Back in the early 1860's, the Sioux Indians, or "Dakota" as they call themselves, were ticked off that the American government had failed to live up to their promises of an earlier treaty which had forced them onto a reservation.
The next day was sunny and beautiful and I continued heading west across southern Minnesota, driving by countless fields of corn, alfalfa, and soybeans, all quite bucolic and exceptionally scenic.

 News: August 18, 2001 (Watertown, South Dakota)
If you watched television in the 1970's, the name "Walnut Grove" might ring a bell because it was, of course, the setting for the television series, "Little House on the Prairie," based loosely on the childhood of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Her parents, Charles and Caroline, moved the family around the Midwest throughout the 1870's and 1880's because Charles, it seems, had a bad case of itchy feet, plus he couldn't hold down a job for one reason or another (though he could play a mean fiddle, just like in the television series).
By the way, I discovered that the Ingalls family lived in Walnut Grove in 1879, which, interestingly enough, was the same year that my great-great-grandfather, Henry Reinhard, moved to this area from points east.

 The Little House Encyclopedia
There, they would meet their "harvest of friends" from a good-natured minister to a loner-turned-family man, from a pesky housewife to a hard-working lumber man. At the helm of its run was the heart and soul of the show, Michael Landon, who served as executive producer for the entire run of the series.
But viewers wanted the exploits of Walnut Grove to continue, so "Little House" was brought back briefly for the 1982-83 fall season, re-tooled and re-built around co-star Melissa Gilbert, and re-titled "Little House: A New Beginning".
Although it was the last "Little House" story to be filmed, it was not the last to be broadcast, for NBC had one final "Little House" telefilm that had not previously aired...it was a Christmas story called "Bless All The Dear Children", about the kidnapping of Laura's baby girl Rose.
