Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Adams County, Nebraska, Vol. 1 In presenting this history of Adams County I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to many who have kindly and competently assisted. To the supervising editor, Judge William R. Burton, I am indebted for frequent helpful suggestions as well as his own contribution, that portion of Chapter X that deals with the bench and the portion of Chapter XXI that deals with the homesteader and the homestead laws. In Chapter XVIII are the contributions of Mrs. John H. Slaker and Mrs. William H. Fuller. Mrs. Slaker's contribution is a faithful and detailed record of the Woman's Club, an organization of ever growing importance in Hastings. Mrs. Slaker has also sketched the earlier cultural clubs of which it is the outgrowth. Mrs. Fuller has here preserved the record of Niobrara Chapter of the Daughters of The American Revolution. Mr. A. H. Cramer's intimate acquaintance with early affairs and his clear recollections of them have proven of inestimable value in this compilation. If this volume shall in any measure enhance the appreciation of its readers of the community described, its growth and institutions, its possibilities, and of the men and women who have made it what it is, and will stimulate in them a desire to preserve the records of future developments - then the work shall not entirely have failed of its purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collection of Nebraska Pioneer Reminiscences This Book of Nebraska Pioneer Reminiscences is issued by the Daughters of the American Revolution of Nebraska, and dedicated to the daring, courageous, and intrepid men and women - the advance guard of our progress - who, carrying the torch of civilization, had a vision of the possibilities which now have become realities. To those who answered the call of the unknown we owe the duty of preserving the record of their adventures upon the vast prairies of "Nebraska the Mother of States." "In her horizons, limitless and vast Her plains that storm the senses like the sea." Reminiscence, recollection, personal experience - simple, true stories - this is the foundation of History. Rapidly the pioneer story-tellers are passing beyond recall, and the real story of the beginning of our great commonwealth must be told now. The memories of those pioneers, of their deeds of self sacrifice and devotion, of their ideals which are our inheritance, will inculcate patriotism in the children of the future; for they should realize the courage that subdued the wilderness. And "lest we forget," the heritage of this past is a sacred trust to the Daughters of the American Revolution of Nebraska. The invaluable assistance of the Nebraska State Historical Society, and the members of this Book Committee, Mrs. C. S. Paine and Mrs. D. S. Dalby, is most gratefully acknowledged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Hamilton and Clay Counties, Nebraska, Vol. 1 Full volumes have been written on the history of Nebraska, going into long, laborious detail upon each important topic. But so many readers feel that the task of familiarizing themselves with volume after volume is too exacting upon the time of the busy, hurried twentieth-century individual. So it has been considered expedient to introduce the county historical section of this work with an abridged review of the historical development of the State of Nebraska. That this may be equally interesting to readers of all classes, be brief enough to be thoroughly examined, be systematized so that the salient facts can be found whenever reference is desired, this part of the work has been compiled by the undersigned and many others, whose work has assisted him in a synoptical, chronological and encyclopedic arrangement.
