"On the Oregon Trail, near the Little (or Red) Vermillion River Crossing in what is now Pottawatomie County, Kansas. Soldiers killed by cholera are memorialized on what was oft-used campground. (Even after its demise as a settlers' trail to the west, the route of the Oregon Trail was an important military trail.) Behind the simple memorial is the Louis Vieux Elm, at one time the largest elm tree in the USA. Further away and behind the flowering red bud tree is the modern crossing over the Little Vermillion."
