Indian Hill at the Niobrara River homestead of Jules Sandoz
is mentioned frequently in the book, Old Jules. Jules would often
practice marksmanship by aiming at a sandy spot on the hill. "...the county judge
decided upon a compromise of advice.
'You say you were n't shooting at Freese but at a sand spot on indian Hill?'
'I got four witnesses to prove it.'
'Let us say you have. Now whose land is this Indian Hill on?'
'On Freese's."
'Then have you the right to use it for a target range?'
'...I came into this country when nobody was living here and shot at the sand spot with
the Indians." from Old Jules, by Mari Sandoz, pg.123-124,University of
Nebraska Press, copyright 1935.
