Below are Brandon Garner's links for a unit on dugouts:

• http://websteader.com/wbstdsd2.htmThis is a good site, focusing primarily on some dugouts in Nebraska. It has some good pictures, and one of the few sites with pictures of the inside of a dugout, and the furnishings one might find there. It also gives a brief history of the dugout.
• http://www.over-land.com/st_goodnight.html This site talks about Charles Goodnight and his contributions to the American west and cattle industry. It has a particularly good picture of the replica of his dugout in Palo Duro Canyon.
• http://www.rra.dst.tx.us/c_t/people/Charles_GOODNIGHT.cfm This site is hosted by the Red River Authority of Texas, and is a well-written, well-organized site. This site inspired most of my previous research on Charles Goodnight. It has a lot of good links - definitely worth a look.
• http://www.rootsweb.com/~neresour/pioneer/ntpa/volii/pages/ntpav205.htm This site only make mention of dugouts, but what I thought was really good were the stories of the west and traveling back then. It has some good first hand accounts as well as some poetry. This is a must for anyone who loves the old stories people like to tell, especially about their travels and history.
• http://www.lauraingallswilder.com/homesites.asp This site is links to other sites about Laura Ingalls Wilder. She is famous as the woman who wrote the Little House on the Prairie books. But what most people donât realize is that the show is based on her life, and the books are essentially journals - which make them an excellent primary resource.
• http://webpages.marshall.edu/~irby1/laura/This is another site dedicated to Laura Ingalls. Worth a look for any Little House on the Prairie fan, or history buffs.
• http://rob.neff.net/Dakota/follow_up.html This site is dedicated to the Bean family and their ranch with the original dugout on it. There is some family history here as well as a picture of a dugout with a little girl in the doorway, the picture I used on my web page.
• http://www.fmoran.com/teshks.html This site is about the Lane family and how they moved west. It only makes mention of the dugout, but I was looking for anything I could get my hands on that talked about dugouts, so I included it. It does have some interesting information for historians, and some particularly good information, but the reliability of the resource is questionable, and is only secondary research at best.
• http://www.flash.net/~himler/Dakot.html This is a link to a book you can buy about life in a dugout in Dakota titled - Dakot a Dugout.
• http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/starbuck-george-reynier.htm This is the short story of a man and his family moving west. It makes mention of a dugout they pass by that is covered in wild grapevine in one paragraph. Again, I was desperate for dugout information, but I thought the story was interesting.
