Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings and Collections of the Nebraska State Historical Society, Vol. 5: Tree Planters Ladies and Gentlemen - There is no material work of our race anywhere in any age that did not first have a mental concept. It existed primarily in some human intellect. The artist who attempts on canvas the reproduction of some beautiful scene in nature asks a great deal from his own personality and trusts largely upon his skill, his experience, and imagination. The sculptor who sees in the formless mass of marble some beautiful piece of statuary, which must be brought out by his chisel, asks of himself and of Providence a great deal for the fruition of his mental image. But it occurs to me that the pioneers of a new country ask more of life than either the painter or the sculptor. They who saw in these vast plains stretching from the Missouri river to the Rocky mountains the great commonwealth which is now left on this canvas asked a great deal to live to see the fruition of their thought and the completion in part of this great painting of the prairies. It has been assigned to me to tell you something of the early forecasters of the future of Nebraska. The eyes and ears of the United States first gave attention to the existence of journalism in Nebraska during the latter part of July, 1854. On the 28th day of that month a paper named the Arrow (published in Omaha every Friday by J. E. Johnson and J. W. Pattison, editors and proprietors) first hurled itself upon a waiting public.
