My favorite odd bit:

On February 6, 1874, their new house - the commander's house, largest in the fort - caught fire in the middle of the night...Libbie lost her most valuable dresses and many sentimental items, including a wig made from her husband's famous long hair, cut when they married a decade ago.

How did Evan S. Connell miss that?
