When the Marquis’s meat-packing scheme collapsed in 1886, his commercial empire did as well. His dreams, however, created a romantic legacy that lives on in western North Dakota.

Ft. Saurerkraut In November of 1890, telegraph messages warned pioneers that hostile Sioux had escaped from the Standing Rock Reservation and were raiding towns as they fled to Canada. To protect themselves, the German settlers around Hebron constructed a fort made of native sod grass and dirt. The attack never happened and the settlers returned to their homes in December. The fort has been historically reconstructed on the exact site on the NW corner of Hebron.

Initial Rock In 1876, while on their way to the Little Big Horn, two soliders with the 7th Cavalry chiseled their names into soft sandstone rocks in the rugged ND Badlands. Privates Frank Neely and William C. Williams were riding the Custer Trail that began at Ft. Abraham Lincoln on their way to what would later be called the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The date was May 28, 1876, twelve days into a campaign that would end in disaster for Lt. Col George Armstong Custer and his troops. Both privates survived the battle.

Last Great Buffalo Hunt Site By 1883 only 10,000 buffalo remained in this last herd, still ranging the butte country around Hiddenwood Creek (now the communities of Hettinger, Lodgepole and Reeder). Under constant pressure from both Indian and white hunters, their numbers dwindled. The end came in October 1883, when Sitting Bull and a thousand Sioux from Standing Rock killed the last 1,100 buffalo about 15 to 20 miles southeast of what is now Hettinger.
The American buffalo had made their last stand as free-ranging herds.

Roosevelt describing the Elkhorn Ranch: "The story-high house of hewn logs is clean and neat, with many rooms, so that one can be alone if one wishes to. Rough board shelves hold a number of books, without which some of the evenings would be long indeed."

Theodore Roosevelt Maltese Cross Ranch The Maltese Cross Ranch cabin was originally located about seven miles south of Medora in the wooded bottom-lands of the Little Missouri River. Constructed of durable ponderosa pine logs that had been cut and floated down the Little Missouri River, the cabin was considered somewhat of a "mansion" in its day, with wooden floors and three separate rooms. The steeply pitched roof, an oddity on the northern plains, created an upstairs sleeping loft for the ranch hands.
