But in the subsequent history of Nebraska terri
tory, there lack of contests between the
settlers and the Indians One of the points of vantage
in 1866 was Fort Mcpherson, situated about one
quarter mile above the little settlement of Cot
tonwood Springs and about opposite what is now
Brady's Island, a station on the Union Pacific. At
that time the post in command of Major Norton
of the Sixth United States volunteers, popularity
known as the Galvanized volunteers name bestowed
on them because those six regiments recruited
during the latter days of the 1876 unpleasantness
from among the inmates of federal army prisons and
the confederates thus becoming federas, alleged
to be galvanized" They made excellent and faith
full soldiers This was during the early days also of
the construction of the Union Pacific railroad. few
miles above Mcpherson was Burke's ranch, while
twelve miles above the fort was the "Twelve-Me
ranch" maintained by Jack Morrow
Major Norton shortly afterward relieved by
CAPTAIN John X Miner Second United cavalry
as commandant and the Sixth United States volun-
teers were also relieved by battalion of the
Second cavalry with which was Second Lieutenant
George w Yates who as captain in the Seventh
limited States cavalry killed in the Custer fight
