| 0848 | 12/30/68 | 2 | 1 | Nebraska City | From "Moore's Rural New Yorker", Major Brooks notes on Nebraska, on a visit there at time of State Fair last October. Nebraska City is one of the "old towns" and is very venerable compared with Lincoln, Fremont and other upstart places. It consisted about nineteen years ago, of one block-house, where overland folks fitted up for California. It is situated on the west bank of the Missouri, with about 1200 inhabitants and every evidence of prosperity. Chief Justice Mason who lives on a farm a mile or two out of the city, is a well developed specimen of a Western man - farmer, judge, lawyer, politician; and can husk more corn, hold more courts, make better speeches than any number of other men. He is giving much time to fruit cultivation, forest trees and hedges, and improvement of stock. |

It has the advantage of Omaha in being surrounded by a rich agricultural country and must always be the commercial metropolis of the south Platte district, by far the richest and best portion of the State. |

| 0848 | 10/10/68 | 3 | 2 | Nebraska City | At the Pottery, the proprietor was building an immense furnace and oven - the grounds are fenced in and a house erected. Large quantities of blue clay, well adapted to the manufacture of crockery ware, are piled upon the ground, and will be ready for the moulders hands shortly.

| 0848 | 6/17/67 | 3 | 3-4 | Nebraska City Growth & Development | A sum of money to repair the Main Street Bridge, in a proper manner ought to be appropriated at once. Improvements in Kearney ward do not progress as rapidly as the other wards of the city, the houses look more dilapidated and have a tumble-down appearance.

At the Nebraska foundry some 20 or 30 men were working at repairing machinery, and the building, many erecting additions to the main edifice, etc. The engines and boilers have been put up and are now ready to commence work; a well 70 feet in depth has been completed and other changes made.

The Government of the United States recognized this fact when it located "Old Fort Kearney" here in 1846. The freighters for the Government verified this fact when they made Nebraska City the great entrepot for supplies, going to Colorado, Utah and Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The short cut to the Rocky mountains from Chicago via Nebraska City, by the main line of through railroad to the Pacific will further demonstrate this fact. |
