Overview

Excerpt from Nebraska: Her Resources, Advantages and Development Later again a few pioneers ventured to this nu known country and, notwithstanding privations that now seem impossible to endure, they sent such glowing accounts of Nebraska, as an agricultural paradise, that the greatest wave of immigration known in the history of America set in from east to west, and the Great Ame1 1can Desert became only a name and a tradition. The virgin soil of Nebraska proved from the begin ning especially suitable for corn, and the early settler had) a crop harvested in such a short time that the bounty of nature seemed to him to pass belief when he saw the marvelous result of his first labor. What one man did, so did another. Corn was crowned king of Nebraska, and in 1891 there were no less than four million six hundred thousand acres devoted to his ser vice ih the State. The corn crop of Nebraska may well be deemed a guarantee given by nature to the pioneers, insuring them a living while they were settling the State.
