Either this article is wrong in using the term Exoduster or the article on Exoduster is wrong... the article there talks about Kansas---not Nebraska and a period 30+ years prior to DeWitty. Could somebody confirm which is correct? or reconcile the descrepency? When I looked into it, it appears as if this article uses the term incorrectly.

PS I would love to promote this as a DYK to the main page, but this potential factual discrepency makes me reluctant to do so. In order to make it to the main page, it needs some sort of citation ASAP.

Further investigation, Exoduster was clearly a short period during the 1870's that ended in 1881. The online source provided was of questionable reliability, but I did find a more reliable source stating the DeWitty was the largest and most permanent homestead in Nebraska... I've used that to make a proposal for a DYK. (since I reworked it, I can't promote it.)
