Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yep. Union Pacific drove the first spike in the transcontinental railroad. It was completed in May 10, 1869 when it met up with the Central Pacific out of California, at Promontory Summit, Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahomabound Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The 1st Nebraska Cavalry was created from the 1st Nebraska Infantry on October 11, 1863. The regiment was commanded by Colonel Robert R. Livingston. It was later designated 1st Nebraska Veteran Cavalry on July 10, 1865 after being consolidated with 1st Battalion Nebraska Volunteer Cavalry.
