In the heart of Nebraska’s Sandhills, a unique and vital ecosystem thrives. These wetlands, including marshes, meadows, and fens, are filled by groundwater and scattered across the Loup, Platte, Elkhorn, and Niobrara river regions. While most are freshwater, some are salty due to natural alkali in the soil.

Mostly located on private ranchlands, these wetlands are cared for by ranchers whose cattle depend on the surrounding grasslands. They're not only essential to the ranching economy but also a haven for wildlife, including endangered species like the whooping crane and Topeka shiner.

Sandhills wetlands are Nebraska’s most intact wetland type, but they face ongoing threats from changes to the watershed and invasive plants. Still, they provide critical support for migratory birds, rare turtles, and outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, kayaking, and wildlife watching.

In the Spring of 1875, soldiers from Company A 23rd US Infantry were sent to Fort Hartsuff.

In a report to the Department of the Platte at the end of April, Captain Coppinger wrote, "My company is without vegetables here except such small quantities as I can haul from the railroad, and the supply of fresh meat is at present very uncertain."

The company cooks, like the reenactor shown here, had limited rations for the garrison, relying on game that was hunted in the area and the little supplies that could be purchased from nearby settlers.

At the end of May, the paymaster was set to visit Fort Hartsuff to pay the troops, but transport was not arranged from Grand Island, so he returned to headquarters with the payroll. A few days later, a general order from headquarters stated that troops were not to be paid in full for May and June, due to a shortage in appropriations.

The men were expected to manage with what they had. Not surprisingly, the fort had to deal with desertions in the summer and fall of 1875, including the commissary sergeant who did not return from furlough and the hospital steward who ran off just before Thanksgiving.
