- I think that the Sons of Hermann is also active in New Ulm, MN but
- I could have the name wrong. If you call up the Schell's brewery
- there, someone would probably know.

- Factoid, from the dim recesses of my mind: The city of New Ulm claims
- the last remaining militia artillery battery in the U.S. They were
- given a cannon after the famous Sioux uprising during the 1860's.
- Over the years they added two or three more cannon, to achieve the
- official number required for a battery. I think it might be the
- Sons of Hermann that fire the artillery every fourth of July.
