Posted a tad early...because "tomorrow is another day"-Scarlett O'Hara ; Countless men in man-caves learn "Frankly my dear...not to give a damn!' 1936: Gone with the Wind is published. 1934: Hitler purges his own NAZI party in the Night of the Long Knives; Hundreds are killed. 1876: Having got a little too far west, the survivors of Custer's seventh cavalry reach the steamboat Far West for transport back to Ft Abraham Lincoln. The vessel, shown below as fitted in 1876, was the true hero of the disaster under able Captain Grant Marsh and covered the 710 mile trip in 57 hours. Life for a steamboat was short on the brutal, lethal and untamed Missouri and this custom-built 20" draft-190' vessel hit a snag and sank in 1883 near St Charles on the Missouri River.
