A propos de cet article

The University Publishing Company, Published 1937. Hardcover, x, 470 pp.; 21 x 14 cm; illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs, period engravings, paintings (including reproductions of works by Karl Bodmer and W. H. Jackson), portraits, and maps, with a map of Historic Sites in Nebraska facing the title page.In Good condition, no dust jacket. Light sage cloth-covered boards with a pictorial cover design printed in red and black: a rising red sun with rays over a prairie horizon, tipi, Indigenous figure, and covered wagon, with the title in black block letters above. Small chip to the cloth at the head of the spine and some light nicking at the foot. Light bumping to edge tips, mild shelf wear with light soiling and toning to the cloth. Binding tight and square. Previous owner's neatly hand-printed ink inscription on the front pastedown giving name, college and date (November 30, 1937); a small ink ".50" (apparently an old bookshop price) in the upper right corner of the front free endpaper. Pages lightly toned but otherwise clean and unmarked.A richly illustrated state history of Nebraska prepared for school use by Addison Erwin Sheldon (1861-1943), Ph.D., longtime Superintendent of the Nebraska State Historical Society. Sheldon was raised on the frontier in Cherry County, served as editor of the Burnett Blade, Chadron Advocate, and Chadron Signal, and was on the battlefield at Wounded Knee in the hours just after the 1890 massacre; he served in the Nebraska Legislature, took degrees at the University of Nebraska and at Columbia, and headed the State Historical Society from 1917. The book moves from geological prehistory through the Indigenous nations of the plains (Pawnee, Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Omaha, Otoe, Ponca), Spanish and French exploration, the fur trade, the overland trails, the territorial period, statehood, the "Red Man's Last Stand" and the Indian wars, settler life on the frontier, and the modern era through the 1930s, with chapter-end "Topics and Activities" study questions throughout. A standard textbook in Nebraska schools through several reprintings, and a representative artifact of mid-twentieth-century state-history pedagogy. Cover design in the Art Deco prairie idiom.Contents: Long-Ago Nebraska (Millions of Years Ago; The First Nebraska People; Men and Horses from Spain; Coronado in Search of Quivera; Missionaries and Fur Traders; Down the Mississippi; The Spanish Caravan; Early Nebraska Routes to Santa Fe); With the Indian Tribes in Nebraska (Seven Famous Indian Tribes; Otoe, Omaha, and Ponca; A Cunning Old Chief; Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho; The Proud Pawnee; Indian Folk Tales and Songs; and others); Explorers and Fur Traders; The Red Man and the White Man; The Highway to the West (Overland Trails, Oregon Trail, Mormon Trail, Denver Trail, Pony Express, Old Fort Kearny, Fort Laramie); The Coming of the Settler (Homesteading in Nebraska; The Hard Winter of 1857; Old River Towns; Law and Order; Political Parties; Nebraska Becomes a State); The Red Man's Last Stand (Indian Wars; The Sad Story of the Ponca; A Champion of the Ponca; The Great Indian Treaty; A Messenger of Peace; A Cheyenne Ambush; Pawnee Scouts; Surrender of the Cheyenne; Return of the Cheyenne; The Sioux Leave Nebraska; The Last Indian War; The Nebraska Indians Today); Life on the Old Frontier (Westward Trek; New Capital City; Pioneer Churches; Early-Day Schools; Coming of the Railroad; The Prairie Fire; The Easter Storm of 1873; Drouth, Grasshoppers, Panic; The Cattle Kings; War on the Rustlers; The Great Blizzard of 1888; Buffalo Bill; The First Arbor Day; The Early Governors); The Dawn of a New Era (A Great Nebraskan; Money and Banks; Horseless Carriages; Nebraska in the World War); Nebraska Since the World War (The Great Boom; The New Capitol; An Air Mail Hero; Lindbergh in Nebraska; The Great Seal of Nebraska; The State Flag, Flower, and Bird; Light and Power; The Depression of the 30s; Drouth, Dust, and Hoppers; One-H.…
