I’ve been a historian for several years, and in that time, I’ve come across many interesting and important stories from the past. There are, of course, always the stories of the settlers, of the Dakota War, and of hard times in the county. The stories I find most entertaining, however, are those that are lighthearted, amusing, or interesting in a kind of “peculiar” sense.
