By F. M. KIMMELL.
OFFICIAL CITY& COUNTY PAPER.
ON THE FRONTIER.
There is nothing small or narrotv in the
"Western way of doing things , and when , in
the latter part of 1871 , The Utopia Townsite
Co. sent out its advertisements , pamphlets
and circulars , setting forth the unparalleled
opportunities offered for obtaining much with
little outlay , many responded , eager to secure
the privileges. As soon as the spring of 1872
opened , the "colony" thus formed , set out for
the promised land , about one hundred miles
beyond the regular settling up of the country.
The R. R. was to be built "within a year or
eighteen months at farthest , " and here would
be the "machine shops and roundhouse. " The
Land Office was to be located in the "city , "
a military post established and other large
schemes suggested. The town was laid out
in streets and avenues and named ; but ilcame
to nass that the great expectations of the Co.
failed to matcriali/e.and the only occupants
of the corner lots were prairie dogs , owls and
rattlesnakes. Murmurings were heard among
the disappointed and it soon become like the
old nursery jingle , "some flew east , some Hew
west and some flew over the Cuckoo's nest. "
Vet two or three remain unto this day. There
is no longer any frontier ; the county is thickly
settled , towns arc all on the U. R. , which did
come up the valley in ten years instead of
one ! To these later comers their coming
made possible by the endurance of the old
settlers the hardships and privations through
which we passed seems incredible and I am
so often urged to write about these days that
[ bhal ! try to tell .something of what one
woman went through in settling the country.
I sit here and watch the covered wagons as
they uo farther west. Some are seeking that
which can never be found until the Range is
crossed over from which no man returns , home
will find their bright anticipations dwindle to
crushed hopes their joyous sowings will fail
of glad fruition all will meet with more or
less of disappointment. Seeing these , the
elasticity of time causes the intervening years
to contract , and I live again our journey
through our Wilderness to the Canaan , which
was to flow with milk and honey.Ve left
Kentucky in Aiiril. 1872. leachimr Nebraska
City on April 25th , where we remained about
three weeks , getting an outfit and provisions
and making ready for our future home. 1 un
derstood afterwards the interest and pity man
ifested by those with whom I was thrown
They knew ! But , with me it was a case
where "ignorance is bliss. " I , a bride , brought
up in one of the most exclusive parts of Ken
tucky , to go as a "homesteader" away out on
the frontier was an undertaking from which
many would shrink. A faculty for ideali/.ing
was a help then and ever after. On May I5th ,
we started , two wagons. In one , was the
owner , who was also one of the original
Townsite Co. , two very young men , a Bostonian -
ian , and a day later were joined by another of
the Co. who was afterwards State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction. In ours were J. ,
likewise one of theCo.and myself and all our
earthly possessions , except one box which
was in the other wagon and our sewing mach
ine which was left until a more suitable time.
Utterly inexperienced , I had everything to
Ieamand the Bostonian and I were the "tend
erfoots" of the company.
It was a monotonous uneventful journey of
three hundred miles. Riding along , day after
day , the rattling of the harness the onlv ac
companiment to the sound of the horses feet ,
grew very irksome. The newness of every
thing was unpleasantly pi eminent , particular
ly in the suburbs of Lincoln and two little
towns through w Inch we passed. The same
ness of the trip was broken when we reached
the Platte Valley when that stream was bank
full , from the spring thawing of snow in the
mountains. The innumerable islands , big
and little , all shapes and sizes , like dots of
emerald on bands of silver , wa a gladdening
sight to eyes weary of miles and miles of the
somber gray and brown prairie. One after
noon and night were spent at "Dobytown"
near old Ft. Kearney. Here we found a strik
ing instance of the largeness of ideas in the
west. An enthusiast lived there who was act
ually publishing a little paper in the interest
of what was to be "Centoria , " the would be
National Capital ! the "geographical centre
of the U. S. ! " Alaska had not then been
purchased.
The two boys entertained me with blood
curdling stories of murdered men and every
now and then pointed out a lonely grave , in
which a man lay , who had been killed by his
partner.Ve spent one day and night at the
mouth of Plum Creek , to rest our tired horses ,
before crossing the divide between the Platte
and Republican , which was thirty-five miles
and no water for man or beast. These gracej
less boys spent the afternoon in exploring the
place and reporting to me what they found.
There was an old ruined ranch ; this was a
sod fortification used against the Indians , in
the crumbling walls of which they picked out
bullets. There was the slope over which the
Indians rushed down on a party of emigrants ;
' 'over there were eleven graves , where the
butchered emigrants were buried. The sod
ruins looked ancient , the evening was calm
and still , we seemed so far from the'rest ol
the world ! The sun apparently dropping
suddenly out of sight produced an uncannj
.sensation , heightened by the quick change oi
twilight to darknessthe stars intensely bright ,
but so distant ! The peculiar condition of the
atmosphere , added to the fatigue of travel ,
with catches of conversation of the men in re
gard to the possibility of Indians attacking us ,
all together , subdued reason , and nerves , nol
made to reason , but to feel , used their power.
It was our custom in preparing for the nighl
for J. to be in the wagon and unfold and
.spread the bed on top of the load , while I stood
outside to straighten and arrange. This night
as I took my place the darkness seemed more
dense , the lantern on the inside making it ali
the blacker out and the mysterious stillness
only increased the weirdness. I almost fell
the Indians and I scrambled into the wagon ,
saying "I just can't stay out there , I'm afraid ! '
and each hair seemed erect and alive. And
even now , after a lapse of all these years , in
recalling that night 1 find my breath quicken
ed and heart beating.
Leaving this place we traveled on reaching
our destination on May 20th , having been two
weeks on the road. We found the large party
of nine wagons which started two weeks be
fore we did , had only been in twenty-four
hours. Coming to our "claim , " which had
been located the fall before , when the Co. senl
out the locating party , we pitched our tent
and here begun our new life. Into this nine
toot square tent we packed all we had , slept
on the ground and for some weeks cooked by
a camp fire , until the dugout kitchen could be
ready. On one occasion , held an umbrella ov
er the fire to prevent a rain from putting it out ;
though this was rare , as during the first year
it seldom rained , only at night. After the
kitchen was ready and stove set up , I recall
the allowable pride with which I drove nails
in the post supporting the ridge pole and hung
jny pans and skillets and griddles and begun
"our" housekeeping. At first we spread a
newspaper on the ground to eat on , but after
wards J. made a table of the box in which we
brought books , with legs of poles. I remember
with what icverent thankfulness a blessing
was asked on our humble beginnings , when we
first sat down to this table with a cloth on it. We
didn't have much to eatin those days and I , as
a novice , was pleased with successful culinary
experiments. For two years we had no cow ,
nor milk and butterso my experiments were of
: i poverty stricken kind.
In frontof thetent was a shade of poles and
willows , to the side the covered wagon bed ,
whichanswered for our small storeroom. A
gunny-sack was used for carpet and I kept it
swept all around so it had a feeling of home.
Little by little conveniences were added and I
felt quite proud of the seats which J. made ; two
three-legged stools and one four-legged. Two
we covered with buffalo hide. During the fall
vhen the soldiers left , we added to our pos
sessions at their sale. A cotton wood bunk al
lowed us to rise from the ground to the dignity
of a bed A gunny-sack weatherbreak around
and over the tent and a sheet iron stove made it
comfortable for winter ; and when We had com
pany some would get on the bed for the Want
tf room.
