    Extractions: Overview - What's in a name? Alvin, the original town name, was designated by the railroad April 23, 1877 but the name only lasted four years. When the postal department opened an office at the railroad depot, February 15, 1877, the name was officially designated as Saunders. But even that name did not stick. On August 4, 1880, the postal officials changed the name of the post office to Mead. Reports differ as to whether the name means "meadow" or if the town is named after Charles W. Mead, Assistant Railroad General Superintendent. 1876, Union Pacific Railroad During the 1800's it was customary for the Union Pacific Railroad to build a station every few miles and plat a town around it. During the summer of 1876, a 16 square block area was set aside to become for the village. By Christmas 1876, railroad tracks were laid in the area and the line through town became a part of the Omaha and Republican Valley Railroad, Beatrice Branch. Building commenced in early 1877. Early Settlers Joseph Sturdevant, the railroad agent, was the first resident, sharing his time between his farm 3 miles to the north and the railroad depot. He was joined in early 1877 by Charles Ostenberg and Cyrus Truman Condit, the first of several businessmen to set up shop in Mead. Condit, a carpenter, originated in Ohio. Ostenberg, a native of Germany, opened the first store and was later joined by his fourth son, Thomas.

    Extractions: Page 1 of HOME Long before early French explorers named it the Platte River, for "flat water," this heartland oasis was a crossroads. Migratory birds, abundant wildlife and native Americans were in residence for centuries when the confluence of the Oregon and Mormon Trails led pioneers to the site that would become Kearney. Bound for points further west, some hardy, yet visionary souls saw opportunities along the Platte and they stayed laying the foundation for what would become the Mid-western "work ethic." Now, at the very center of the country, as this great, braided river cuts an arc across the plains, Kearney, Nebraska faces a brilliant future.

    Extractions: Page 2 of 2 [ HOME In 1848, a fort was established to provide protection for travelers heading west along the Oregon Trail. Named for Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny, Fort Kearny afforded a safe haven for pioneers, pony express riders, prospectors and others as they followed the great Platte river road. According to an official War Department report, more than 30,000 people bound for California, Oregon and Utah passed through Fort Kearny during an 18 month period during the gold Rush of 1849. Originally built near Nebraska City, the fort was later relocated to its present site, south of Kearney, to increase military strength in the busy central Nebraska corridor. In its 23 years as the first U.S. Army Post on the Oregon Trail, Fort Kearny was never attacked by Indians. The city of Kearney derives its name from the original fort but due to a postal error an "e" was inadvetently added and then never changed Settlement began in the summer of 1871 when the Rev. and Mrs. Collins entered a homestead claim. The couple lived in a dwelling called Junction House which was also the site of the first post office, the first school district, the first marriage ceremony, and the first church service.

    Extractions: Northwest Nebraska History This area was a favorite Native American hunting and camping area for hundreds of years and the Sioux Indians occupied it permanently about 1810. Spaniards from New Mexico were the first fur traders, followed in the 1830's by Americans from St. Louis who established a regular trail from Fort Laramie to Fort Pierre on the Missouri River. In the 1840's there were two competing fur posts, one on the Chadron Creek about 8 miles south of Chadron, the other on Bordeaux Creek 3 1/2 miles east of Chadron. In 1872-73, two Indian agencies were established on the White River in what is now Dawes County. Fort Robinson was built to protect the Red Cloud Agency and played an important role in the Indian Wars of the 1870's. Sioux War Chief Crazy Horse was killed at Fort Robinson in 1877. Camp Sheridan was established in what is now Sheridan County in 1874 to protect the Spotted Tail Agency. It was abandoned and dismantled in 1881, but the site is easy accessible. With the removal of the Sioux Indians to South Dakota in 1877, several very large cattle outfits came into the area. Large roundups were conducted annually until the railroads arrived in 1885, and an influx of homesteaders took up most of the available land. Dawes County is still cattle country and very much reflects its heritage of Native Americans, fur traders, cowboys, and frontier soldiers. The buffalo herd and the Texas Longhorn cattle found at Fort Robinson State Park are reminders of northwest Nebraska's vivid history.

    Extractions: H I S T O R Y The Oregon Trail Young Adult by Francis Parkman, E.N. Feltskog (Editor) Francis Parkman learns firsthand from the Indiansand not from the remnants of eastern tribes, what Plains Indians are like from his personal journey on the Oregon Trail. It was his own fortitude and perseverance-perseverance under the most grievous physical afflictions-that made it possible for Parkman to see as much of the West as he did, to experience at first hand the life of the explorer and the trapper and hunter, and even of the Indian. And it was his arduous preparation, his intellectual curiosity, his talent for observation, his enthusiasm, his gift for dramatic narrative, that enabled him to reconstruct from his fragmentary Journals what he had seen and to convey it with such youthful exuberance to generations of readers. Nebraska: An Illustrated History by Frederick C. Luebke This work contains fifty-eight short topical chapters on Nebraska history that, when united with the images in this rich gallery of illustrations, present a unique history of the state. Frederick C. Luebke’s lifelong commitment to the study of his state informs the book in every detail, as does his concern for clear and readable narrative. The result is a work that every Nebraskan will want to have, read, and enjoy.

    Extractions: Encyclopedia Nebraska Pawnee The French also came and in the 18th cent. engaged in fur trading, but development began only after the area passed from France to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804) and the explorations of Zebulon M. Pike (1806) increased knowledge of the country, but the activities of the fur traders were more immediately valuable in terms of settlement. Manuel Lisa, a fur trader, probably established the first trading post in the Nebraska area in 1813. Bellevue, the first permanent settlement in Nebraska, first developed as a trading post. Steamboating on the Missouri River, initiated in 1819, brought business to the river ports of Omaha and Brownville. The natural highway formed by the Platte valley was used extensively by pioneers going west over the Oregon Trail and also the California Trail and the Mormon Trail. Nebraska settlers made money supplying the wagon trains with fresh mounts and pack animals as well as food.

    Extractions: The Minicks Julian was (and is) a village located in Nemaha County on the Nemaha-Otoe county line. It was named for Julian Bahuaud, an early settler from France. The first name was chosen as no one seemed to be able to pronounce his last name. The first house in Julian was located in the northwest part of the village -just south of the county line. Doan Higgins owned the farm, built the house, and later moved it to the hill west of town. other houses were built before the town was platted, which probably explains why the house east of the Methodist Church was in the middle of the street when the Mesnet addition was platted in 1902. The town of Julian was given or sold by Silas H. H. Clark of St. Louis. He was the Vice-Pres. of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Part of Julian was taken from the NW'/4 and part from the NE'/4 of Sec. 5. TWP. 6. North of Range 14. East of the 6th principal meridian. D. M.

The Catholic Church was established in 1881. Before that services were held in the Tobin home. The Methodist Church was built in 1889; however church had been held in various schoolhouses prior to building in Julian - Harmony, Pleasant Valley and Camp Creek. The Evangelical United Brethren Church was built in 1893. Before building in Julian services had been held in Rock Creek schoolhouse.

    http://www.ku.edu/~kansite/hvn/books/nbstory/story1.html
    
    Extractions: The Spaniards were very much disappointed. They had come so far to conquer a people who were hardly worth conquering. It would never do to go back to Mexico with nothing to show for their long journey. So Coronado marched eastward across New Mexico into the valley of the Rio Grande. Stretched along this valley for many miles were villages of the Pueblo Indians. They also were poor and peaceful, irrigating little patches of the valley in order to raise corn and beans, making cloth and pottery, and living in sun-baked mud houses. These Pueblo Indians treated the Spaniards kindly and furnished them food. The army camped there for the winter. Quarrels arose between the soldiers and the Indians. The soldiers stormed the villages, killed many of the Indians, and burned some whom they took prisoners. The Spaniards then tried to conciliate the Indians so that they would go on raising food for them, but up and down the fair valley of the Rio Grande there were fear and hatred of the white men. Coronado and his army had eaten all the corn they had brought with them for food. The land of Quivira was still said to be far to the north. A council was held and it was determined to send the army back to the Rio Grande, while Coronado with thirty horsemen and two guides pushed on to find Quivira. So the army went back, and Coronado with his thirty men traveled on, eating nothing but raw buffalo meat. After crossing a great river, supposed to be the Arkansas, they came to the country of Quivira, forty-two days after parting from the army, or seventy-seven days after leaving the Rio Grande.
