My Great-grandfather was born in 1868, at the height of the Indian wars. Bison still covered the plains, cattle drives were just starting North out of Texas.
He lived long enough to see the B-52 go into service.
Impressive. He might have been aware of Custers demise at the Little Big Horn in 1876. What history making times.
Isn’t it amazing what one man can witness in a lifetime?
The first transcontinental railroad was completed when your great-grandfather was one year old!
