NEBRASKA'S HISTORY
Earliest Records
Nebraska's fossil beds and glacial deposits show that it once was the bed of an inland sea that was later elevated above water. The area once had a tropical climate, but during a later period, glaciers covered the land. Archaeologists estimate that prehistoric people inhabited the area from 25,000 to 10,000 years ago, based on discoveries of stone tools and weapons.
Indian Tribes
Indian tribes lived in Nebraska a few hundred years before white explorers arrived. The Missouri, Omaha, Oto and Ponca Indians were peaceful tribes, living by farming and hunting along rivers. The Pawnee tribe farmed beans, corn and squash, and hunted buffalo on the plains. Although the Pawnees fought with other Indian tribes, they were friendly with white settlers. Western Nebraska was the home of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, and Brule and Oglala Sioux Indians. These wandering tribes, which built no villages and lived in tepees, lived by hunting buffalo. They eventually fought white settlers and U.S. government troops to keep these hunting grounds.
Spanish and French Explorers
In 1541, Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado led an expedition across what is now the American Southwest into Kansas. He claimed the entire territory for Spain, although the Spainards never established settlements in Nebraska.

  • Looking Into the Future
    (Winter on the Beaver Creek, early 1900s)
    Prehistory
    Around the end of the last Ice Age, the first settlers to the area that would one day become St. Edward migrated in from the north and west. A number of Native American tribes have lived in this region during the past 10,000 years. The most recent Native American tribe to have lived in the St. Edward area were the Pawnee, who lived in earth lodge villages along the Beaver and Bogus creeks. The Sioux and the Omaha tribes also hunted bison in the area. In the mid-1800s, the U.S. government removed these tribes from their home areas through treaties, which cleared the way for white settlement in the area. In 1871, Boone County was organized, and the settlers who would found St. Edward began to arrive.
    Early Settlement
    J. North of nearby Columbus, Neb., platted a townsite and named it Beaver City in 1871. This attempt at settlement was unsuccessful, but in 1872 a post office was established in the vicinity named Beaver. Two years later, the Waterville Mills began operation along Beaver Creek, and other businesses began to spring up. That year, the post office changed its name to Waterville. In 1876, A. T. Coquillard of South Bend, Indiana, platted a new townsite, St. Edward. He named it after Rev. Edward Sorin, the president of Notre Dame University. His attempt at founding a town was successful, and the town grew quickly after that.
  • 105. A (Brief) History Of Unicameralism
    THE history OF UNICAMERALISM IN nebraska nebraska Considers a OneHouse Legislature. Current history. Vol. 41. 1935 434-36. ·, Landis, David.
    http://www.unicam.state.ne.us/uni/history.htm
    THE UNICAMERALISM DEBATE IN NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE: The following selection is excerpted from "Nebraska Government and Politics," Robert D. Miewald, Ed., pg. 57-58 (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1984): "Under our federal system, each state is free to determine the structure and nature of its own government, subject only to the vague and unimportant provision for a 'republican form of government' in Article IV of the U.S. Constitution. Even with this latitude, there are more similarities than dissimilarities among the fifty state governments, this high degree of uniformity being fastened on them by history and tradition. In addition, major alterations in, or departures from, these accepted governmental institutions are rare. Nebraska, however, did make such a major change in the 1930s when it adopted a nonpartisan, unicameral legislature. This question is often raised as to how and why this occurred. It was not sudden. Actually, there have been momentary spurts of interest in unicameralism in a number of states since just before World War I. Governors in some states have recommended it; in others, various 'good government' groups and constitutional conventions have given it serious consideration; it has even been voted on by the people in a few states. The most recent stirring of interest grew out of the 'one man, one vote' requirements in the apportionment of both houses of state legislatures; the supreme court decisions effectively undermined the 'federal analogy' supporting the argument for a second house in state government. All of this interest flared only briefly and soon disappeared except in Nebraska."

    Fort Atkinson, Nebraska
    The History of Fort Atkinson
    A little more than 150 years ago, when the American revolution was a mere 36 years behind us, when not a single settler had crossed the Mississippi into Iowa, and when not a single mile of railroad existed in the entire nation, a simple patch of ground a few miles north of Omaha, now surrounded by cornfields, pastures, and small town homes, was the site of the largest military post in America. Upon this quiet little patch of Nebraska once strode several thousands of soldiers, many of them veterans of the War of 1812. Here bugles blew, orders were barked, cannons roared. Here all the intricately controlled chaos of a great military establishment was conducted. Here also were Nebraska's first school, farm, sawmill, hospital and library. Here was Ft. Atkinson, the "Elysian Fields" of the 6th infantry, the first fort west of the Missouri, and the sole accomplishment of the Yellowstone Expedition of 1819. The story of Fort Atkinson began in 1804 with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The land that is now Nebraska was once a part of the territory of Spain and later of France, and was peacefully acquired by the United States in 1803 when the French Emperor Napoleon offered the vast Louisiana Territory to the U.S. for $15,000,000. For three cents an acre, the fledgling American Republic doubled its size and acquired what would eventually form all or part of 15 states. President Thomas Jefferson proposed an expedition to be undertaken by the U.S. Army. In a confidential message to Congress he stated:

    A traditional old west boom-town, McCook quickly became the center of commerce and trade in Southwest Nebraska and Northwest Kansas. Pioneers flocked in for the opportunity to create fresh profitable lives in the thriving new railroad town. As the town grew and established itself as a commercial center, farming and ranching spread across the surrounding rural area. In 1890, the largest buffalo herd in the world existed northeast of McCook. A man known as Buffalo Jones established several ranches that provided buffalo to the rest of the world. Jones is credited to be directly responsible for keeping the buffalo from extinction. Within the calm settings of the beautiful Republican
