I live by the big mall of america and i was surprised to see that they have somthing of their own. suppose if i google i could find some of that. The nationality somehow makes that news a surprise to me. children of my generation played cowboy and indian and could watch tamer movies of roy rogers or gene autry and tonto.. There were other balck and white movies on budget channels on sturday. It does make me wonder what they saw........... I suppose our ancestors woulds say uncle Henry Schlaphof moved to Nebraska where they ride horses and look out for indians... and see buffaloo..... I suppose famous battles get heard of such as that of 'custards last stand'... etc........ Just as the story of a battle at Gohrde where the woman who fought as a man with the soldiers against the French is shown in a famous opera. I can't recall her exact name or the opera........ well known world over. The museaum at Goehrde has the figurines placed as if in Battle. I think the medal sight and listings of t those who died in military may have her name.. Pachke or something like it. Howeve, here is a site that looks good for later investigation....about those who fought there and the french. There is a sight about the renaction of the battle. lots of pictures. Perhaps googling 'Roethen' might help me find it again. http://www.regiments.org/regiments/europe/de-regts/KGL.htm I did get off subject didn't IWould you know anything about Schuze or schultz. land or city ara given to those of military service.... What do you know of those theme parks and such?
