Description
While exploring Fort Hartsuff, I discovered these old fashioned bell alarm clocks in almost every room at the fort. Although, neither the clock nor the flag were true to the period, the composition, color and moodiness of the scene really caught my eye.
Located in Burwell, Nebraska, Fort Hartsuff is typical of Plains infantry outposts. It was built as a buffer between settlers and Native Americans, and to help protect the Pawnee from the war-like Sioux, in the North Loup River Valley from 1874 to 1881. It was acquired as a historical park in 1961 and has been restored as it was when soldiers patrolled the North Loup and Cedar River valleys and pioneered a new trail to the Black Hills gold fields in the 1870s.
