Another scene from Sunday’s ride. A few miles back I had been at Edward O. Smith’s old farmstead toward the southeast corner of Sunfield Township, Eaton County. I was now on my way to the place where he farmed for one year in 1840, and where his wife had seen a large band of Potawatomi Indians during the military roundup operated by Gen. Hugh Brady. I had this quiet gravel road, called the Bismark Highway, all to myself.
