Description	:	1909: Avid hunter and fisherman, Miles Maryott, loved the Sand hills north of Oshkosh, NE for its beauty and abundance of game.

His Kincaid on Crescent Lake boasted a spacious and comfortable hunting lodge, rather than the small sod dwelling required by law, and Maryott entertained important men from around the country. He prepared gourmet meals of wild game for his patrons after a day of the best hunting in the hills. Maryott was hired by the U.S. government to document migratory birds, and given permission to shoot and mount a bald eagle. He was a self-taught artist and taxidermist, and an expert of birds and their habits. Ornithologists from afar often engaged his help in their quest for rare birds. Today, what remains of the endangered or extinct birds shot and mounted by Maryott is exhibited in the Silver Hill Museum in Oshkosh. Nebraska State Bank owned the collection, taken to settle a debt in the 1920's, and donated them to the museum in1975. For all his talent, Maryott's alcohol abuse hung over his head like a black cloud. Respected and well liked, he made friends easily, but when he drank he was apt to shoot up the town. He kept an enemies list of those he felt had wronged him, including the county attorney, a critical school teacher, and Dr. Morris, the village board chairman. The townsfolk were terrified during his drunken rampages, and he was jailed frequently. Friends such as Connie Schlator loaned Maryott bail money with paintings as collateral. He rarely paid them back. Maryott shot Marshal George Albee to death on Thanksgiving eve of 1926 as he attempted to arrest him. He pled self-defense, but the court ruled against him and he was sentenced to life in the Nebraska State Pen. Petitions with as many as 500 signatures from Garden County citizens defeated any chance of parole. He died in 1939 Another Bio
