Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

8vo (8.5" x 5.75"), printed wrappers. 46 pp. Folding map, 12.75" x 18.25", plus margins. CONDITION: Good, dampstaining at covers and the top of the second half of the pamphlet. Light vertical crease at middle throughout. Map good, one minor tear at margin. A promotional pamphlet for land along the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad, including former Indian reservation lands, with an appealing map of the rail line and its spurs. The text begins with a message to the public advertising the Elkhorn Valley Route on the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad, the railroad having recently extended to Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, and thereby placing within reach of home-seekers millions of acres of free government lands. This is followed by an exhaustive overview of Northern Nebraska and its attractions, geographical outlines, physical geography, topography, and neighboring areas (including Indian camps and more). A good portion of the text is devoted to Northern Nebraska’s geology, covering the Old Forest Bed Epoch, the origins of "modern Nebraska," "How Came that Grand Old Forest," and so forth. Also included are testimonials from dozens of farmers who settled in Northern Nebraska, including "exceptional cases," and highlighted is a large buffalo flat ("8 miles long by 3 miles wide"). The prospective settler is advised on how to reach these lands, how to make a profitable investment in Nebraska lands and Omaha Reserve lands (formerly home to the Omaha tribe), and how to acquire them. A letter from the U.S. Land Office in Nebraska to the General Passenger Agent of the Sioux City & Pacific R.R. is printed here as well. Ads are included for the Land Agency of I. N. Taylor of Oakdale and Neligh, Nebraska, and real estate dealers Richards & Keene of Nebraska. The text concludes with a price list of commodities in Northern Nebraska. The map, entitled "Sioux City & Pacific R.R. and connections to the Free Homes for the Million" (by Rand McNally & Co. of Chicago), spans from Council Bluffs, Omaha in the east to the Black Hills in the west, and from Pierre, South Dakota in the north to a portion of Colorado in the south. The Sioux City and Pacific Railroad and its connections are shown in bold, connecting with other railroad routes across the midwest.
