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.
