HISTORY AND STORIES OF NEBRASKA BY ADDISON ERWIN SHELDON DIRECTOR NEBRASKA LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU LECTURER ON NEBRASKA HISTORY AND INSTITUTIONS UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA WITH MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS ( see ** note ) CHICAGO AND LINCOLN THE UNIVERSITY PUBLISHING CO. THE UNIVERSITY PUBLISHING COMPANY The Lakeside Press CHICAGO Produced by Connie Snyder CONTENTS Preface Introduction Part I, Stories of Nebraska. Part II, A Short History of Nebraska. ... Index George Catlin Painting an Indian Chief PREFACE STORIES are the harp strings of history, transforming the past into melody and rhythm. The best stories live forever in the human mind. They greet us in the Latin, Teutonic, and Celtic tongues, surprise us in the ancient Greek, Arabic, and Hindoo literature, and astonish us in the rude folk tales of primitive peoples who have no written language. The demand for a good story is as wide, as unsatisfied, as human longing, and the search for a new one as difficult and elusive as the discovery of a new element in nature. Stories are the inspiration of patriotism and of home virtues. No land is loved without its place tales, and no nation became great without the lift of noble examples and ideals in the stories of its common people. Every hill and mountain must find its hero, every vale and prairie its legend, ere it becomes invested with living human interest.

42. TeamMates Of Nebraska History will help our students identify potential career opportunities in Nebraska and modelto them positive, responsible citizenship. History Statewide Initiative http://www.teammates.org/teammates (old web)/history.html

History of TeamMates It started with a vision... In 1991, Tom and Nancy Osborne initiated the TeamMates mentoring program in Lincoln, Nebraska, with 25 middle school students. This initiative teamed the students with University of Nebraska football players, who met weekly as one-to-one mentors with the middle school students. Of the original 25 students, 23 have stayed with the TeamMates program. 21 of those students have graduated from high school and 19 have continued with post-secondary training. This program included a promise to fund students for post-secondary education if they would: finish high school stay out of legal trouble continue to participate in the program, and remain childless through high school graduation This program also included such benefits as tutoring, funding for summer camps, and other out-of-school experiences which have been proven to help students be successful in school. With a little help from friends... In 1996, friends of Coach Osborne organized a recognition event for his 200th Nebraska football win. At the celebration, Coach Osborne was presented with a check for $250,000. The Osbornes donated those funds to benefit TeamMates.

50. Harrison Elementary,Omaha, Nebraska History Named for an American president, either Benjamin or William Henry Harrison therecords are unclear, Harrison School opened on October 13, 1930, with 164 http://www.ops.org/harrison/history.htm

Harrison's History Named for an American president, either Benjamin or William Henry Harrison - the records are unclear, Harrison School opened on October 13, 1930, with 164 students from grades Kindergarten through four. The fifth and sixth grade students were located in other school buildings. Five teachers plus the principal, Miss Johannah Chapman, composed the teaching staff. Few houses were located north of Hamilton Street and cows often grazed under the classroom windows. Mules, horses, and chickens also appeared from time to time. Overcrowding led to the need for an addition which was started in 1949, but the new addition still did not include enough room for fifth and sixth graders, so another addition, containing the gymnasium, stage, kitchen, and two classrooms was built immediately upon completion of the first addition. Construction of the two additions was completed in 1953. The playground leveling was finished by 1955. A very active P.T.A. has been a continuous source of support, both financially and educationally, since the first year of Harrison's existence. The first by-laws of the organization provided that a Harrison father should be president, there should be four meetings a year from eight to ten, and that everyone should have gone home by ten o'clock after having had refreshments and a little gossip with his neighbors. In 1945, the by-laws were changed to allow a woman to hold the office of president. Modernization of the by-laws have also included a change in the specified times and frequency of meetings as well as the dropping of the mention of refreshments and gossip!!

Re: nebraska history Posted by Angie/4/NE on 6/06/02 Do you teach 4th grade? I was a first year teacher this year, and I also had to teach NE history with no guidelines to follow. I was dreading it, especially since I'm not from Nebraska! My school had purchased the Journey Through Nebraska textbooks for the students to use, but they are way above 4th grade level. I went to a teacher supply store and got a NE history activity book and a theme book on state history and did some things from there. I also used the Nebraska trailblazers extensively. I found a website that has activities and printables from those newspapers. I'm home for the summer, but could possibly get you some of the info I used if you need it yet this year. Just let me know.

59. Fort Kearny In Early Nebraska History Col. Stephen Watts Kearny was ordered to construct a new fort and he chosea site on Table Creek, now Nebraska City. It would be named Fort Kearny. http://www.nebraskastudies.org/0400/stories/0401_0135.html

Fort Kearny In 1844, the pressures for additional protection for additional whites was growing. The U.S. Secretary of War recommended that a chain of posts be constructed from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains to protect the Oregon migration. Col. Stephen Watts Kearny was ordered to construct a new fort and he chose a site on Table Creek, now Nebraska City. It would be named Fort Kearny. The construction of the fort in 1846 at Table Creek, however, was a decision that proved to be a gross error in geographic judgment. The Table Creek site was not on the main route of overland traffic and relatively few emigrants passed nearby. Consequently, the War Department directed that an alternate military station should be established further west near Grand Island where the road to California encountered the Platte River. The second Fort Kearny in 1849. Source - NSHS, RG2102:1-7. In 1847, Lt. Daniel P. Woodbury, an officer in the Corps of Engineers, left Fort Kearny at Table Creek with about 70 men. When he got to the Platte, Woodbury described the site he chose in an official report: "I have located the post opposite a group of wooded islands in the Platte River ... three hundred seventeen miles from Independence, Missouri, one hundred ninety-seven miles from Fort Kearny on the Missouri and three miles from the head of the group of islands called Grand Island."
