Some of the things NoAmGeogSoc has done
Edited the Article about the battle of Cameron, adding a section to "Notes" about the location of the site, the yearly celebrations at the site, and the monuments on the site.

Created an article about Thunder Butte in Ziebach County, South Dakota, with many edits, while learning. I had come across references to Thunder Butte in re-reading the story of Hugh Glass, and decided to look it up on the internet. To my amazement this prominent landmark had very little existence on the internet. It was dismissed by departments of the state f South Dakota as being little known because it was "on an Indian Reservation". I decided to make Thunder Butte appear in Wikipedia, thus making it appear to the world wide web. Summer 2008.

Created an article about Frank M. Ziebach for whom Ziebach County is named. I came to know of Ziebach County, and thus Frank M. Ziebach, while doing research for Thunder Butte. Once I had made a first draft, I rewrote the article to include everything I could find on the internet. This included a number of old histories of the Dakota territories, which were digitalized on Google, so the article became authoritative. In truth, the article has a whopping boredom factor. My motivation was that it seemd to me to be a shame that a man who had a county named after him would be so little known today. I therefore tried to make him "reappear" on the internet from out of the past. Summer and Fall 2008.

Edited the Yankton, South Dakota article, adding information about the first newspaper (the Weekly Dakotan) in Yankton founded by Frank M. Ziebach, still published today as the "Press Dakotan" Summer, 2008.

Edited the article about Ziebach County, South Dakota -- added the names, locations and elevations of Buttes in Ziebach County. Summer, 2008. Motivated at least in part by the unique name of "Squaw Teat Butte", which today is quite probably inappropriate, but which is an actual and well recognized place name, and is so footnoted.

November, 2008, started work on an article for Wikipedia about Grant Marsh.

January 17 and 18, 2008, published an article on Tongue River, and have made extensive edits and additions since then to article. January 2009 and February 2009. Researched historical places on Tongue River. Researched commerce on the Tongue River. Began to compile the geology section of the Tongue River page.

January 2008, made a number of edits referencing the Battle of Honsinger Bluff and the death of John Honsinger in the biographies of Rain in the Face and Thomas Custer, who were dramatically linked by those event.

February 2009, research and drafting on Confederate Gulch, Montana, based on an earlier small entry in Wikimapia.

February 28, 2009. Made a small edit in the article on Union General Alfred Pleasanton, relating to his policy of amnesty and parole for Confederate soldiers from General Sterling Price's Confederate army following Price's 1864 Missouri campaign, which led to a significant migration of Confederate soldiers (mostly Missourians) to Montana.

March 1, 2009. Made a rewrite of the Big Belt Mountains, to remove errors and make it more correct. Origional article had confused Whitehall, Montana with White Sulphur Springs, Montana.
