Durant, Nebraska water tower

Durant is a town in Nebraska named after Thomas Durant. It seems to serve as a water stop for the railroad, as it has a large water tower emblazoned with the name of the town. Eva and Gregory Toole settle in Durant soon after its founding. A short time after the Union Pacific Railroad completed the portion of the Transcontinental railroad passing Durant, the town was attacked and burnt to the ground by a Sioux raiding party. ("Durant, Nebraska") General Ulysses S. Grant tells Bohannon that they renamed the town Cheyenne. ("One Less Mule")
