Spotlight Saturday - The Blockhouse

Description

Enjoy the overview of one misbehaving soldier, Private Michael Nicholas, stationed at Fort Larned in 1868 and the events surrounding his imprisonment. Originally built as a defensive position in response to a Kiowa raid in 1864, the Blockhouse was never used for its original purpose. Instead, to save money, the military turned it into their guardhouse where they kept misbehaving soldiers.
