Rawhide Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rawhide Creek is a stream in Douglas, Washington, Dodge, and Colfax counties, Nebraska, in the United States.[1]
According to legend, Rawhide Creek was named in about 1849 on account of a man who was skinned to death there by Indians, his hide was left as a warning to other settlers.[2]
The “Legend” Rawhide is from Niobrara County Wyoming. Rawhide Creek's headwaters are located on Denny Ranch, Southwest of Lusk, Wyoming. The Legend of the Rawhide is re-enacted every July in Lusk.
