Amelia and the people of Custer County in the late 1880s are simply too intertwined to continue to tell her story piecemeal and retain coherency. Before long, I intend to pull this blog and reassemble the story as its own Web site, where it can be told properly, in-depth, and in its entirety.

Yes, its entirety. For at last I have, without a doubt, finally found Amelia. I’ve been in contact with her great niece, who has provided invaluable information to cement the tenuous connections I had assembled.

There is one more bit of information required before I can commit “The End” to Amelia’s story. It requires the exchange of paperwork by necessity, which could take a few weeks. After that, I will begin work on the Web site.

Thank you for your patience, and I will see you all at the new site soon.
