Excerpt from Collections of the Nebraska State Historical Society, Vol. 17 In the preparation of what I am about to say in this address, I had in mind a broader purpose than merely inter esting the members of the Nebraska State Historical Society in the wealth Of its possessions and the work it is doing. I wish as much as possible to interest all the people of the state in the variety and character of the material that has been collected and is preserved in the museum and in the extent and scope Of the reference library of the society. I wished to create, if I could, in the minds of the people a desire to visit our rooms and to look at what we have. I hoped to induce the state to be sufficiently liberal in its appropriations to properly maintain and house these priceless records of its history. History, of all studies, contains the greatest amount Of instructions and of principles and of ideas in the facts which it relates. Humanity, viewed as a whole, is the most interesting subject for man. Every man that comes into the world should make himself acquainted with the place he occupies in the order of time, the increasing or decreasing of civilization, age by age. The picture of humanity should be painted with broad strokes, as a Turner would use the brush, for the eyes of the people to see and enjoy it. History develops thought because it contains the elements of reflection, and by this process it develops con science in the people. These are but glimpses of some Of the primary purposes Of state historical societies which make them worthy Of state support and of the patronage Of the people.

Excerpt from Proceeding and Collections of the Nebraska State Historical Society That was the name of our boat, and she was loaded to the gunnels, as they say, with passengers and freight. In fact, all the state rooms, berths, and cosy places were taken for the women and children, and men with families, the rush to Kansas, Nebraska and further was so enormous that spring. We young unmarried fellows had to sleep on the deck on blankets, mattresses, etc so that I early began to know what roughing it meant.

Excerpt from Report on the Archives of the State of Nebraska The condition of the early archives still remains bad, with a few exceptions. Many of the records of the early State period are huddled into boxes and pigeonholes without adequate labels and so intermingled that it is impossible to give a correct list of all except with such wearisome detail of enumeration as would defeat the purpose of this reference list. A rapid examination has been made in these cases and the most important documents thus disclosed have been itemized. The remainder must await, for their recognition, the time of proper assortment.
