    {EXCERPTED FROM On This Date In North American Indian History
    By Phil Konstantin

    1704: Today, through tomorrow, in what would be the first American battle in "Queen Anne's War", Deerfield, in central Massachusetts, is attacked today by Indians and French. Of the almost 300 inhabitants, different historical accounts show between 49 and 56 would be killed, and almost 100 would be taken prisoner.

    RELEVANT LINKS:
    1877: The Standing Rock SIOUX Reservation has been created by the Treaty of April 29, 1868 and an Act of Congress today in Dakota Territory. It will cover 4,176 square miles and be occupied by "BLACKFEET, HUNKPAPA, Lower and Upper TANKTONAI SIOUX."

    URGENT HEATING NEED WOUNDED KNEE DISTRICT..READ IT...

    UPDATE:
    Hi Ish.
    Here is the information on Gordon Propane
    They will take checks or money orders and the minimum amount is $135.00 for 
    100 gallons. 
    Their address is......Gordon Propane
                                  P.O. Box 58,
                                  Gordon, Nebraska,
                                69343
                                 Ph: 308-282-1725

    the other one is Blue Gas but they recommend sending to PTI which is
    interesting . She told me they cant afford to travel 30 miles to the rez all over the place to deliver propane so think that lets out Blue Gas. Looks like Gordon is the best one......  Bennetts are having problems and so is PTI with drivers apparently. 
    all my best:-)
