G'lfct.c An erican Desert9
a Classic Misnomer
r ui many years, map ui me
United States labeled the trans
Missouri country, including all
of Nebraska, “the Great Ameri
can Desert.” This fallacy was
repeated in school books and
came to be generally accepted
throughout the Eastern states.
The result, to put i mildly, was
not the promotion of rapid set
tlement of the new territory.
The man primarily responsi
ble for starting the rumor was
Maj. Stephen H. Long, of the
Army Engineers, who in the
years 1819-’20 conducted an of
ficial exploration of the coun
try between Pittsburgh and the
Rocky mountains.
James C. Olson, of the State
Historical society, has recount
ed the story of that expedition
in his press release, “Out of Old
Nebrska.”
The first year the expedition
got as far as the mouth of the
Platte, where it was decided to
spend the winter. Their winter
quarters, called “Engineer Can
tonment,” were situated just
north of the present city of Om
! aha.
That trip up the Missouri was
a notable one, for it was made
in what was probably the first
steamboat to ascend the river
as far as the Platte. The “West
ern Engineer” they called it,
and it was said also to have
been the first sternwheeler ev
er built. To impress the Indi
ans, the prow of the boat was
shaped like a huge seipent.
Maj. Long didn’t spend the
winter rn Nebraska, but went
back to Washington. There he
encountered a Congress irritat
ed at what it considered insig
nificant results of a very ex
pensive undertaking. As a re
sult, when Maj. Long returned
to Nebraska in the spring of
1820, it was to hunt .for the
sources of the Platte and Red
rivers rather than to go on to
the Upper Missouri as he orig
inally had intended.
So the major struck overland
along the Platte. He got to
the Rockies, and sighted the
peak which now bears his
name. Also, three members of
his expedition scaled Pike’s
Peak, being, so far as is known,
the first to accomplish this feat.
Faced with hardships all
along the way, the expedition
did not accomplish its mission.
This failure may have been
partially responsible for the
pessimism which tinges the of
ficial reports.
Of the country which now in
cludes Nebraska, Maj. Long
wrote: “I do not hesitate in viv
ing the opinion that it is almost

ence . .
Dr. Edwin James, who ac
companied Maj. Long, wa^ even
more definite in his pessimism.
‘‘We have little apprehension of
giving too unfavourable an ac
count of this portion of the
country,” he wrote. "The trav -
eller who shall at any time
have traversed its desolate
sands, will, we think, join us
in the wish that this region
may forever remain the unmo
lested haunt of the native hunt
er, the bison, and the jackall.”
It’s too bad the major and
the doctor couldn’t take a trip
across Nebraska today.
