Well, I guess this will be out of order so you have to go down to the last post and then come up to have it in the right order.  I'm breaking it up though so I don't loose it all again.

Before they give the prairie diamond rings they talk about how there was romance on the prairie and one story goes that three young men fell in love with the same girl.  Each one went to her father and asked for her hand in marriage.  He told them the first one who could bring her a diamond ring could marry her, thinking that would be pretty safe.  He didn't know that one of the boy's father was a blacksmith and he had horse shoe nails that had a head like a diamond and they were even made by the Diamond Company.  So he went to his father and had him shape the nail into a ring then took it to the girl and her father.  The father gave his consent.
