Sinossi
Excerpt from The Discovery of Nebraska: Read Before the Nebraska Historical Society
It is true that the only discovery of our state, which can be regarded in any sense as permanent, that which was followed by the usual horde of ad venturers, traders and explorers, dates from a long subsequent period. The city of St. Louis was estab lished in the year 17 64, and in the preceding sum mer its founder, Laclede Liguest, visited the Mis souri. Gradually the advancing wave of commerce crept up that river, until it reached the most powerful and mighty of the savage nations of that day, the proud, wealthy, populous and pugnacious tribe of the Omahas, with their famous chief Wash-ing-guh salt-6a, or the Blackbird, whose prowess Irving has celebrated. And whose lineal descendants still exer cise, on a little reservation, hereditary rule over the docile handful to which that great nation is reduced.
