Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nebraska Her Resources, Advantages, Advancement and Promises A glance at the map will show at once the grand position which Nebraska holds at the centre of the continent, midway between the two great, oceans of the world. The great extent of lauds in the State, an area sufficient for an empire of itself, double the size of Ohio, and larger than all the New England States combined, offers great and varied advantages to those who look westward to-day for homes where they can find peace and profit, plenty and comfort, and those opportunities for social relations, schools, churches, and all those prized privileges which they enjoyed in the homes left behind, in the east. Ride over the western prairies to-day, stopping at the occasional sod cabin of the homesteader, and there will be found sure signs of a class of settlers who will make this a rich agricultural country, and are raising a rich crop of young men and women of whom any section of the country might be proud. These will soon direct the destinies of the great west. A great proportion of those coming west to-day are not pioneers. They have seen that life farther cast, but want to find homes for their grownup boys where they can commence farming at once without the labor of clearing away a forest. Here is one great advantage in making a start on the prairies. Immigration has always moved on the same parallels, and here it is seeking the great Golden Belt of the continent, so-called from its great capacity for grain producing. It may certainly be classed as a prairie country, but not flat like that of Illinois. This is gently undulating, and one noticeable feature is the valleys in connection with the uplands, giving the settler a choice of any location be may desire. Lands can be had entirely suited for the plow, or those where farming and pasturage can be combined. High table lands for grain, with adjoining valleys where heavy crops of the finest hay can be cut, and where cattle and sheep can find both pasturage and protection in winter. The growth in population, wealth, agricultural advancement, and all other essentials, are such as to warrant the assertion that Nebraska is the great Western State of the very near future. A State only since 1867, a territory from 1854 to that date, her population now is over one million - happy, prosperous people. Her assessed valuation is over one hundred million. This is but about one-third the actual valuation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
