The Fort Totten Trail entered Bucephalia Township about 30 rods east of the west side of section 35 a short distance west of a bush, east of the old H.P. Hanson place, now owned by Robert Timm. There is still a trace left at that place on the east-west section line, and was never farmed.
It passed the old Ed Johnson farm, now owned by Joe Lipetzky, about 10 rods west of the buildings. It ran on the east side of the quarter line through section 11, and is still visible west of Bucephalia School No. 2 on the south side of the east-west highway, south of the stone house once owned by Frownfelter.
This trail went straight north through the Ambrose Ableidinger field, east of the James River.
Sibley's army camped on the northeast corner of Frownfelter's field, just west of the Fort Totten trail.
The Sioux Indians were the ones that came from Fort Totten. There was an Indian grave on a high hill west of Ed Johnson's buildings. One day when Ed went to show it to his daughter, Ruby and husband, he found it had been dug up. This was in 1930 or so.
