Nebraska Counties: Blaine by ric Gustafson
Blaine County was established in 1886. The county seat is Brewster. Doc Middleton was a horse thief, cattle rustler and outlaw in Nebraska. He tried to settle in Brewster in 1888. Middleton helped people and thus was sheltered from the law. He was a modern day Robin Hood. He died in 1913.
The county was named after James G Blaine who was a statesman from Maine. George Brewster homesteaded the land that the village of Brewster now stands. Blaine County is in the middle of the Sand Hills of Nebraska.
