In
the Early Days Along the Overland Trail in Nebraska Territory, in 1852
by Gilbert
L. Cole in 1905
compiled by Mrs. Hardy, 1905.
I know that I would not have had the courage to complete this journey, from the encounters with what nature can throw at the pioneers to the Indians with an all name index by Pam Rietsch that's hardly worth mentioning (grin). I have also placed this book under the General History Category.
"Nebraska Pioneer
Reminiscences",
1916, collection by Nebraska D. A. R.
All of those interesting stories that told of the beginnings of settlement in Nebraska. Transcribed by Ted & Carole Miller
"DANGERS
ALONG THE TRAIL"
A Narrative of Actual Events by Charles E. Young, Geneva, NY 1912
From the preface of the actual book..
." I present this narrative of actual events on a trip across the plains to Denver, Colorado, in 1865 and of life in the Far West in the later sixties.
An interesting and valuable feature is a map of the country, made in 1865, by Henry Bowles of Boston, showing the old Platte River and Smoky Hill Trails of that day before there was a railroad west of the Missouri River.."
