The discovery is significant because the saloon was owned by a black man. This should return some pride to blacks today who've been told blacks either never accomplished anything or that they were the ones who accomplished everything. In fact, they were Americans, while both slave and free, and were part of the innovation and entrepreneurship for which Americans are are appropriately famous.

The black man who owned and operated that tavern would have hung JJ.

I thought Little House was filmed in a rock quarry in Simi Valley, Ca.

"The Tabasco bottle is particularly intriguing because of what it implies about African-American cuisine and the development of the West," I hate to be a party-pooper here, but it seems to me one bottle doesn't carry that much of an implication about cuisine and Western development. Someone passing through could have tossed it in the trash for all we know. Now if they'd found a whole case...

That's kind of the joke. You can't hardly find a 30 foot hill in SW Minnesota, yet the footage from Little House has mountains all over it.

I grew up in CA, lived in MN for better than 20 years, and let me assure you, there are no mountains in MN... :)

I grew up about 15 miles from Walnut Grove, MN. There's not much to laugh about in that area of the state, but the mountains on Little House was one thing...
You're the first one to catch the tagline. I feel like I should give you a dollar or something... Thanks for paying attention.

Conservatives freed the slaves, got them citizenship, got them the vote, did away with the pole tax and literacy tests, and passed the civil rights acts in the 60's despite liberal opposition to another freedom for a people of this land. Why was it done? To keep blacks, along with other minority races, on welfare, in secondary education schools, in the slums, misled about the cause of all of it so the "minorities" would hate the conservatives and stay locked (trapped) under their liberal thumb for voting purposes. And if you think we are passed all that, be reminded that as late as the 80's Bill Clinton was found guilty of trying to inetimidate minorities at the poles in Arkansas by a three judge panel and told to back off. Wanna know how to get real freedom for everyone, bring back the conservative ideals. They worked in the past, they would work again. The New World Order of Lyndon Johnson is far closer to George Orwell than George Bush.

Another great American (half) black innkeeper was Sam Fraunces of Fraunces' Tavern fame and friend of George Washinton; meeting place in NYC for the Sons of Liberty and where Gen. Washington said farewell to his officers, Dec 4, 1783.

Eh, donate a dollar in my name to the re-elect GW Bush campaign. :)
Yeah, but Walnut Grove was probably a great place to grow up. I grew up in a small town in CA where there were a lot of things for kids to do.
