They will leave with the rest of the paint and brushes needed to complete their project. Pre-registration is required with Tammy Weers at First National Bank of Omaha at 402-228-4241. There is a $30 supply fee payable to Friends of Homestead with the registration form.

He teaches a Civil War course for Doane College in Crete.

His Chautauqua-style portrayal takes President Ulysses S. Grant from personal mediocrity to his promotion to the highest-ranking general in the Union Army to his election as the eighteenth President of the United States. Complete with period costume, the presentation allows audiences to relive the two controversial presidential terms through the eyes of Ulysses S. Grant.

Just Some of Gage County’s Connections to President Grant
v On March 23, 1872, Gage County had the honor of organizing the first Grant Club in the state. The Constitution Article I of the Gage County Grant Club stated: The object of this club shall be to promote the re-election of U.S. Grant to the Presidency of the United Sates, and in general the success of the Republican Party and its principles. C.B. Palmer, president, H.M. Reynolds, vice president, and members including S.M. Hazen, J. Sharp, B.P. Zuver, F.H. Dobbs, K.A. Moore and Henry Albert.
v Mary Jane Dripps was born at Bellevue, Nebraska, to an Oto mother and white father. At age 3 she was sent to St. Louis, Missouri, to be raised. Her schoolmate was Julia Dent, future wife of President U.S. Grant. Mary Jane married Francis Barnes in 1856 and in 1870 the couple opened a trading post on the Oto reservation in southern Gage County. In 1875, when the Oto Reservation land was to be sold to white settlers, Mary Jane wrote to her schoolmate Mrs. U.S. (Julia) Grant to see if the President could “make us a title to our land” at Barneston. She said many Oto families had established homes and farms and wished to stay. On August 23, 1876 allotments were granted.
v On May 7, 1888, U.S. Grant Jr. sold his father’s Arabian stallion, Linden Tree, to L.W. Colby of Beatrice, Nebraska. This was one of two stallions’ his father received as a gift from the Sultan of Turkey in 1879. Colby would later purchase the other stallion, Leopard. The horses were brought to Beatrice and rumor had it that Linden Tree was worth $10,000. The much loved 30 year old Linden Tree died in Beatrice at age 30.

| Oct 14 Concert: Peter Fletcher |
Library history combines in Peter Fletcher's classical guitar concert funded by the Beatrice Public Library Foundation, to be held Tuesday, October 14 at 7 pm at the Carnegie Building, 218 N 5th Street, Beatrice.
http://www.peterfletcher.com/index.html
According to Library Director, Laureen Riedesel, the Carnegie Building had been booked several months ago as an alternate location for the event. "Although the Library renovation might have been completed by this time, that was the most optimistic estimate made before any of the work had actually begun. We are actually excited about this opportunity because of the incredible acoustics at the Carnegie Building, a problem for a library, but an asset for a concert venue." Riedesel also noted that this event fits the Cultural Center purpose of the building, a requirement of the 2010 Department of Economic Development grant used to help fund the Carnegie renovation.
This concert is part of a nationwide tour to introduce works on Peter Fletcher's new "Edvard Grieg" CD released in February. Fletcher wrote all of the guitar transcriptions. Fletcher will also perform other works.
