May 27, 2008 Fortsat fra sidste side ~ Continued from last page Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Jamestown Frontier Village and National Buffalo Museum, Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota Jamestown Frontier Village and the National Buffalo Museum are located in Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota   Vi fortsatte østpå ad Motorvej 94 til vi kom til Jamestown, hvis "gamle by" er hjemsted for det nationale buffalo museum. April elskede Jamestown Frontier Village, mens jeg rent personligt fandt den lidt for kitchy - autentiske bygninger, der er blevet tilredt med alskens turist hurlumhej. We continued eastward on I-94 till we got to Jamestown, whose "old town" is home to the National Buffalo Museum. April loved Jamestown Frontier Village, which I personally found a little too kitchy - authentic buildings that have been overwhelmed by all sorts of tourist entrapments.     Kirken ~ The church     Spjældet ~ The clink

Jamestown var hjem til den produktive western forfatter Louis L'Amour. Jamestown was home to prolific Western author Louis L'Amour.

Mange skandinavere immigrerede i sin tid til North Dakota, Minnesota og Iowa, og vi er så småt begyndt at se danske islæt hist og pist. Back in the day many Scandinavians immigrated to North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, and we are starting to see Danish touches here and there.     April fandt en gyngestol, man kan vokse i... ~ April found a rocking chair you can grow into...     Jamestown har verdens største bison-okse, som er lavet af Elmer Paul Petersen i 1959. Jamestown has the world's largest buffalo, which was made by Elmer Paul Petersen in 1959.     Men det allerbedste af det hele er, at Jamestown har verdens eneste albino bison-okser, "Hvide Sky" og hendes kalv "Dakota Mirakel." Hvide bison-okser er uhyre sjældne, og chancen for at en hvid bison-okse føder en hvid kalv er så usandsynlig, at den ikke kan udregnes. Den eneste anden hvide bison-okse i mands minde døde i 1959. Albino bison-okser betragtes som hellige af indianerne og symboliserer store forandringer i verden. But the best part is that Jamestown has the world's only albino buffalo, "White Cloud" and her calf "Dakota Miracle." White buffalo are extremely rare, and the chance of a white buffalo having an albino calf is so unlikely that it can not be calculated. The only other white buffalo in modern memory died in 1959. Albino buffalo are considered sacred by Indians and symbolize great changes in the world.
