True, the railroads went around Nicodemus, and did not link up the town to the markets and commerce of other surrounding towns. True, they lost BIG when the County Seat was moved to now HIll City, Kansas. This was a bitter conflict. Like Nicodemus, Hill City has lost it's shine and is crumbling down upon itself. Osage Indians DID save them from starvation, bringing them fish in the winter of 1878. True, the Dust Bowl years blew many of them into poverty. FACT, those who stayed, a few got a mini fortune from an Oil Boom that a few struck Black Crude in 1957 and their fortune turned.
