Monday, March 1, 1982 Daily Nebraskan Page 7 State Capitol building dedicated to brave settlers By Mclinda Norris The year was 1)32. In the midst of a drought and depress ion, Nebraskans dedicated the completion of the state capitol building to the brave pioneers who settled Lincoln and Nebra ska. Although the dedication glorified the courage of the first Nebraskans, it served as an inspiration to their ancestors who were fighting to save their land. News of that dedication, and the events listed below came from the Evening State Journal, Nebraska's only newspaper in 1932; and Tower on the Plains, a 100-year history of Lincoln by R. Ncalc Copple, dean of UNL's School of Journalism. 1932.
