Many stories about the Union Pacific Railroad have centered around its construction as part of the nation's first transcontinental rail line. One of the more famous stories concern the Plum Creek Raid, in which three UP employees were killed and a UP freight train was derailed by the Northern Cheyenne on August 7, 1867, near Plum Creek (now Lexington), Nebraska.

It is the best-known instance in which Native Americans successfully wrecked the "iron horse" during their struggle against the encroachment of the railroad on their tribal lands.The incident includes the unusual tale of UP employee William Thompson and his scalp. Noted railroad historian Thornton Waite looks at the many conflicting versions of events related to the incident, and how it has been been portrayed in the media over the past 150-plus years.

Bill Simon collaborated with Estes to design the Belt Object Survey Ship (B.O.S.S) over 40 years ago. This was a time when the introduction of nuclear and solar power revolutionized space flight technology.

This unique rocket, which was not initially intended to be a model rocket, has been eagerly awaited and is being released as a prototype for the first time. With the B.O.S.S. Rocket, you can experience the innovation of the past with the latest addition to Estes' Signature Series.

We matched the Belt Object Survey Ship (B.O.S.S) design with premium components for top quality. Our mission is to bring you the latest in the Estes Designer Series. The B.O.S.S. Rocket comes with a rare asymmetrical structure, featuring:

• One tail fin for increased stability and control during launch.
• Two engine pod assemblies for maximum thrust and performance.
• A large circular plate to provide additional stability and balance during flight.

Experience the beauty of space with Belt Object Survey Ship. This is a vivid testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the early space enthusiasts.
