| Out of Old Nebraska—
Omaha ‘A Very Dull Place’ Except for
Pike’s Peak Emigration Passing Through
By DR. JAMES C. OLSON,
Supt.. State Historical Soc.
Among the thousands who
thronged across Nebraska in the
spring of 1859 to seek riches in
the gold fields of the Rocky
Mountains was E. H. N. Patter
son, of Oquawka, 111. He record
ed his observations for the bene
fit of his hometown newspaper,
and his diary was published by
Leroy R. Hafen in “Overland
Routes to the Gold Fields’’ (Ar
thur H. Clark Co., Glendale,
Calif., 1942). As a result, we have
. a valuable contemporary account,
not only of the Colorado gold
rush, but of the state of civiliza
tion in the Platte valley during
1859.
Patterson had gone over the
trail in 1850 and was much im
pressed with the changes that
had been wrought in less than a
decade. He was particularly
struck with the progress of Om
aha, where only empty prairie
had greeted him in 1850. The
Iterritorial capitol, then in the
process of construction, he de
scribed as “of magnificent pro
portions."
The town, though, seemed
"q u i e t." and, he believed,
! would be, "a very dull place.
as to business, were it not for
the Pike's Peak emigration
passing through."
He followed the military road
from Omaha to Ft. Kearny, and
commented favorably on the good
work the government had per
formed in the construction of
bridges. At the crossing of Pap
pillion creek, he found a hotel.
Elkhorn City was “beautifully
located, contains a post office,
and looks as though it would
some day become the nucleus of
a thriving farming settlement.”
Fremont did not impress our
journalist quite so favorably, and j
he described it as, “a Massachu
setts settlement, which was or
iginally quite small, and has
grown ‘'beautifully less.’”
Columbus he found to be, “a
little border village, containing
10 or a dozen houses, including
a tavern, store and post office.’’
Exhorbitant prices charged at
the ferry across the Loup, promp
ted Patterson to describe it as
“considerable of a humbug. ’
Once across the Loup, settle
ments began to thin out, but in
four days he did come to, “a Ger
man colony of two years stand
ing, known as Grand Island City,
containing 35 families, each pos
sessing a separate homestead."
Grand Island was the last civ
ilian settlement of any size at
all. Beyond, aside from Ft. Kear
ny, there were only occasional
road ranches and way stations.
Ft. Kearny, the most important
stop on the trip, was, "a collec
tion of frame and sod buildings,
enclosing a hansome level square.
The buildings are for the most
part residences and stables —
there being no blockhouse. Sev
eral hundred soldiers are sta
tioned here.”
2 O'Neill Men Appear

The University of Nebraska
ROTC symphonic band, of which
