[ It is not my aim or intention to
write the history of tha former terri
tory , and later state of Nebraska. No
one man is able to do that cf himself.
The incidents of the early history of
Nebraska which I give to the public ,
are confined mostly to one locality ,
and are Intended to aid the future
historian who hail write the -history
of that great and glorious common
wealth. I write of things which came
under my personal observation in the
early days' of the territory.
1 was a msnbef of the "Qalncy
Colony1 which left Quincy , Ills , , on
the steamer "Mary Ann , " on the
afternoon of the 9ih day of March ,
1855. The beat was a small one , and
intended to bo used KS a ferry be
tween the Bluffs and Omaha. Our
trip up the Missouri river was slow ,
and we wera fire weeks reachii
PlattEimuth , Nabr.iska , nr J . . QUt
a short distance OT6 { lore , our boat
struck a enBg cna eank In 10 feet
-ier , a total lo' .
It was about throe hours before we
got any assistance'out1 yawl having
been stolen a ferr nighlR before. The
first one to corno to our appeals for
help was
PETER A. SAKI-i' ,
who sent down two flit-boats on which
everything of valua that could be
saved from the wreck , wai landed dur
ing the day on the Ion a side of the
river , and then hauled to the Bluffs.
I well remember the greeting of
Sarpy when vre huded. Graspirg
each by the hand in turn , ho BiW ,
"By G d , sir , you came near going to
h 1 sirTo the ladies he was ex
tremely polite , and helped all to lodg
ings and a gocd dinner at a small s t
tlemout near by , which , I think , was
called "New Jerusalem. "
Old settlers hare not forgotten
Peter A. Sarpy. Ho could be .is
rough and at vho same time as polite
as any man I ever knew } an.3 n8 was
liberal to a fault , \Vhen lhe history
of JSebras-0i3 propetly Trrillen , Peter
. . Carpy i ill uccupy a prominent
plrw in it.
The patsengera and crew of the
Mary Ann consisted of J. D. Mo'In-
tosh , captain , Nitte , his wife * and
four children ; W. H. Davis , wife and
tour children ; Samuel Peters , wife
and three children ; Ethan Allen ; Jes
sie Barlap and sister , a pilot and two
engineers , and perhaps two or three
other persons , whose names I do not
remember , having lost the note-book
which I kept of those days.
We were to settle at Fontenello , on
the Elkhorn river , forty five miles
northwest of Omahn , the tettlement
having been located the previous fall )
and
LOO HOUSES BUILT
near the river for the accommodation
of the pilgrims who were to come in
the spring.
In those days the excitement to "go
west" to Nebraska and Kansas was al
most as great as the California fever
which developed a few years previous ,
and had not subsided at the time of
which I write. These were good old
days , the best and happiest of my life ,
and I look back to them with pleasure
and gratification.
The pioneers of Nebraska were a
good class of people generally , and
came from all the different walks and
avocations of life. There was little of
the aloment called "rough" to be
fonnd among ; them. Some were poor ;
others had money ; all came to better
their condition. In those days the
conventionalities and stiffness of
strict society etiquette were laidasido
at useless ; stumbling blocks in the
way of frontier sociability. I do not
say that we did away with manners
and civilized politeness. By no
means. The early pioneers were
mostly intelligent people , well-raised ,
self-educated , and college-educated ,
too. Many were refined ladies and
gentlemen , who , while retaining all
the grace * and accomplishments of so-
cifity etiquette , learned in eastern
homes and schools , threw aside the
strict ceremony of the law for the let-
tes and spirit of true sociability and
hearty friendship.
Still there was a "distinction with
a difference. " Tbo man who had a
wagon for the shelter of hla family
was Incky ; the man with a tent was
well fixed , while those who lived in
cottonwuod Bbsntios , sod or lotr
nouses , were "bloated bondholders , "
who could afford to
rur ON AIRB
over these not BO fortunate.
There were no palatial residence :
then , as now. Thewelltodo Mr.
Brown and the humble Mr. Jones may
hava both lived in sod houses , but
yon conld not tell , by looking at the
Interior which had the most wealth
What a glorious time we had "rough-
ing it , " in that lovely valley , by that
beautiful river ! Oh , these blessed
days ! How they have flitted away !
And the fish that we caught , and the
ducks , gecso , turkeys , deer and elk
which our hunters brought in daily !
It was a continual feait of fat things ,
in that bracing , Inviaorating air , be
fore .ho Plittte and Elkhoru valleys
wore disturbed by the plow , "Rough
ing it ! " 1 would like to bo twenty
years younger and try it over.
When I first etood on the bluffs
overlooking the Elkhorn and Phtte
valley , I thought I never before had
seen so beautiful a sight ; and I never
had. I was intoxicated with delight ,
and awed by the grandeur and beanty
of the scene before me./ < & .way in the
dim , hasy distance , shimmering like a
burnished mirror against the low
brewed hills , was the Platte river.
With a spy-glass I could plainly eeo
the Pawnee village , but the spot
where Fremont now stands was deso
late ; nor did I dream that a town of
any pretersiona would ever be built
there. Then came the Rawhide ,
with ita yellow fringe of willows ,
while at my feet wcnnd the Elkhorn ,
placidly , ellently , and as I gazed on
the
WH.DERITESS OF PSAIRIZ ,
I felt the force of Byron's words :
" ' here is a pleasure in the pathless woods ,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore ,
There is society where none intrude.
To mingle with the universe and feel
AVhat I can ne'er express , vet cannot all
conceal. "
It seems to me but yesterday when
Governor Oummlngs convened the
legislature. I remember it well It
was a conglomerate body of men of
all shades of political beliefs , for poll-
tics cut no figure in that enrly terri
torial election. But I have a dim
recollection of "bribery nd crrup -
tion" in tint leg'slative ' body , gntve
BS it was , and filled with ths sturdy
yeomanry of the country. Men were
accused of selling their votra for "cor
ner lots" 8iid town shares , which were
better than gold in those d js , for
everybody wanted to be fottuaitte
enough'to own property in BOIEO "fu
ture great , "
iTew towns were laid out in various
part * of the territory , with parks end
public squares , beautiful sitei far col
leges , etc. , and every town was to be
a county sat ! Men had their pockets
fnll of "snares , " which they consider
ed R fortune ; politics wera forgotten
in the dia and rush and scramble for
town lots , town shares , and " jima. "
Some sold cheap ; q era were held at
exhorbi'.a-'rra ' eSi Shares in proper
ti rni wars sold and bartered in every
conceivable way. Snrne you coald
buy for a pinchbeck Batch , a pistol ,
riflea snol-gun ; others werocsah , at
from $100 to 55,000 per share , a lot ,
or claim.
OF ALL THOSE TOWNS ,
represented on paper , I doubt if there
are half a di.zsn in existence to-aay.
But in the height of the speculative
era , in the year 1857 , tlie crash came ,
nd will-cat stocks sr.d money , with
which the territory was deluded , be
came absolutely worthless. Men who
counted themselves rich ono day were
beggers the next. Men who had had
unliro'ted ' credit , because they had unlimited -
limited wraith in wild Cit stocks
could not get credit for a sack of Sour.
But a healthy reaction came. The
speculative era over , men went to
work , and the prosperity of Nebraska
has been constant and steady ever
since.
The town proper of Fonienelle was
laid out on n beautiful bluff , over
looking the Sikhorn river , but for
convenience to wood and water the
pilgrims had erected log cabins near
the river , on what was knovfii - the
"Davis clatm. _ " 0. , : na { ow' , , 8ite the
erectio rt dwelling houass wai pro-
trVesinif , and a hotel and stoi'o was be
ing built by W. H Davis. The Fen
ienelle college building , the hoiiso of
Postmastpr Uichirdpoii Mill r. for
other buildings were either finished
or in course ct"c mipldtion , when a
bloody tragedy waa enacted , which
filled the hearts of the aett'era with
terror.
One Sunday , in July , 1850 , wo
were sealed nt dinner in my father's
cabin , when n vroman raahed exciteJly
into the house exclaiming , "The Indi
ana !
TIIK liTpiAKs AKK COMING !
They have killed my husb > n < l ! " Of
courao this caused great alarm and
excitemsnl in the settlement. There
were only half a dosen men rst home
at the time , and after ft liunied
consultation it wai decided to
move the wonOn and children to the
reaideccea on the hill. Why this deci
sion I un not knowj as th y were just
as safe behind the "tout logs in the
lower , as HI tlioupptr town , braidej
taking them to f'o upper town Mas
only to oxpaso them to ( U-olh cholild
any considerable t6dy or luduns make
their appearance. But no time wag
to ba lost ; the Indiana were coming ,
and hastily puttin' horsco to wagons ,
the entire population reichoa thu hill
houses in safety.
Wo then learned that Mr. John
Djnsrce , Rged about 22 , and Mr.
Porter , husband of the woman above
referred to , had been murdered by the
Indians within a qu.-.rter of n nislo of
the sottleu.ent. Both had claims on
Bell Crock , six miles from Fontetiollo ,
nd were accustomed tc work on their
claims most of the week , and corao to
town Saturday evening. This time
they delayed until Sunday morning
and were mot by a party of Sioux who
surrounded the waijon. Seeing the
Indians looked threatening and wicked ,
Porter reached for his gnu , and was
immediately shot dead. Demarco
then seized Porter' * gnn , but he was
instantly shot dead also. Mrs. Porter
escaped amid
A SUOWT.R OF AKKOWS
and received a very bid wound in the
thigh from which an arrow was hang
Ing when aho entered the cabin. It
has always been a mystery to me , why
the Indians allowed Mra. Porter to
escape. They could have killed her
as easily as the others. They cer
tainly knew she would alarm the
settlement. But in seems they did
not even pursue her. Had they killed
her they oould have swooped down on
our little settlement , surprised and
murdered every soul , for we wcra ill
prepared at that time for an Indian
raid. My theory of the affair Is , that
they were so intent upon plundering
the wagon , that they did not fully
realize their fault in allowing Mra.
Porter to escape uutil it was too late.
Of conrse thu Indians saw the flying
settlers on the move , and know all
that was going on. And they must
have laughed at the idiotic folly of the
whites in giving them such a chance
both for blood and robbery. But it
seems that the murder cf Porter and
Demareo had sathlied their cravings
for blood , and they were then bent on
booty , for after the settlers had left
their homes by the river the Indians
oame and stole every thing they ould
lay their hands on or could pack on
their ponies.
In these days we had no plastered
houses. To have a house comforta
bly chinked and daubed with mud ,
was quite respectable. To have the
walls and ceilings lined with white
rauilin was considered aristocratic.
Plastered walls may have beou dream
ed cf in tha dim future , but no one
had
THE BKAZEN IMPUDENCE
to asecrt his superiority over his
neighbors by building walls of real
lime , hair and plaster at that time.
Thcso things came later , with other
luxuries and ills of the nmch of em
pire.Some
Some of the cabins by the river
were owned and peoplsd by aristocrats
of the period ; that is , they were lined
with white shooting , somewhat yellow
and dingy perhaps from smoke , but it
looked wbilo to the pilgrims. Tbij
the Indians cut from the walls. The
wretches deliberately "unplastered"
all the palaces by the river , and when
they had piled all the things they
could on the backs of their ponies , ,
they filed slowly away through the
bond of the rlrer , to the great joy of
the people who had scouts watching
them from the hill
tops. There were
thirty of the Indians , and the Paw
nees reported to ns afterward that
they were their most deadly enemies
the Santee Sionx.
A messenger was hurriedly dis
patched to Omaha for aid , and a party
formed to pursue the Indians. The
men who followed their trail found it
strewed with articles the Indians had
been forced to throw away. Here was
found an iron kettle , there a saucepan ,
there _ a dipper , shovel , etc. , so that
for miles the course of the fugitives
was plainly visible. .But the Indians
were too far ahead , and the chase was
finally given up. It was a foolhardy
\hing to do , at best , for that handful of
white men to pursue a band of sivages
who outnumbered them five to one.
But that lUtlo band of excited , angry
men wera brave to a fault , and now
that their women and children were
ssfe they were bent on
ICS1SBXSO THE INDIANS
if they caught them. It was after
wards learned that after the Sioux
crossed the Rawhide their flight was
greatly hurried by the appearance of
a party of Pawnees , and tiat they
were thereby compelled to' nnload i
most of/thelrstolen luggage.
Gov. Thayer responded to the ap
peals of our ponpla for help , and a
company of volunteers , enlisted to
serve for 'Miree months or daring
the war , " was at once dispatched to
the scene of action. Tlia town of Fon-
teuella van put under martial law ,
and , for a time , eivrvbody who could
fhou'der ' a BUII was a "bould sogor
boy "
I shall nevet forget the loud buzzis
and JnyJous greeting sccorJed to tint
red shifted , slouoh-hnt'ed c rapny of
s ildiers as thay raarohed into the set-
dement from Omaha. Tcey were a
picturesque eet c f men ) eaier and will
ing to meet tha fde * so they said ; at
all events we felt that the "couu'ry
was safe" for the time being
The new-comars were qmta an ad
dition to the settlement , " and times
were lively. What games of euchre ,
old filedge , and poker , the boys used
to have ! The tedious hours must be
whiled array somehow i the troops must
have something to do , or they would
actually become lazy. So between
watching for Indians who didn't come ,
dancing , playing card * , and eating ,
our brave defenders managed to put
In abont fifteen hours R doy very com *
fortably. To bo
A flOOD CARD PLAVEft
in those days wzS an accomplishment
to ba proud of. Brave men and lovely
women talked about such and sought
their company , and them was no end
to the invitations to ' 'take a hand"
in the game. Why , I would rather
have been a good euchre player then
than to ba president.
With an enthusiasm unbounded , on
my part , I was mustered into the ser
vice by Capt. Kline , and shouldered
my musket with all the ardor and im
portance of so grave a duty. And as
I walked my boit in the broad bcants
of day I felt , that I alone , Unaided ,
was a match Tor any number of the
enemy. Wouldn't I iust like 'j sea

my belt in my mind. "Brave ? Why ,
I eomeUmcB worked myself up into
aiich a rage that I am certain I would
have weighed a ton hd I been placed
on the hay scales. And Would a sin
gle Indian , or any considerable body
of Indian ? , want to fool around a boy
who weighed a ton ? Tha rest of the
boys and men felt about as I did. We
used to "fifjht our ba.tles o'er acoin"
every day , and file up da d IndUns
in our ruimlsMa hl h ai the Alpa.
But at night I generally felt weaker
than t did in drtytime , and not nearly
Kfl brave : .especially it the night was
tlaOk and I had to go on guard duty.
I always preferrel on such occasions
to bain the honaa with the boya play
ing old aledgH or euchre. Oiio dark
niylit , wbila treading my lonuly bsat ,
I saw an
INDIAN CKAWLINO ON Ills HANDS
ithd kaoes toward mo. I saint ted and
watched. At first I thoucht 1 wou'd
go to the house , nut fat off. and got a
< Uhik , brCanse I happened to ba very
thirsty just at that tiim. But when
the dreadful thought flashed acroes my
mind thrt I niigtit bo shot for desert-
in ? my p'lst ' in time of w r , I con-
cludatl to remain. If the blooJy sav-
aye put an arrow through me I would
have the proud eatisf-tction of know
ing I did not divert ilio ehip , fo to
apeak , bat , like a here , died at my
post of duty , tQ bo embalmed inverse
verso and story with GttiSiibianca and
Waahineton'a little hatohot , and my
memory indellibly onpravod iu the
history of the early daya of Nebraska
tl'.e days which tried men's souls
and clothes and pockets.
So I squitted and watched the In
dian creep. I could watch him just
as easily squatting as standing. Pret
ty soon my hair began to raise "like
bristles on the fretfnl porcupine. " I
nuppo'e this was caused by electricity
in the air. Soon I saw a pair of fierce ,
bloody relentless cruel eyes gleaming
on mo through the darkness. Then T
had a notion to go over to the bouse
and see how the the game was going
on. I wanted a chew of tobacco and
several other things I wanted to tell
my mother I was out. I wasn't a bit
scared , but I wanted to see if the folks
mere all well , and if there wore any
Indians crawling up from the other
side. But I didn't go -I looked
again and the grass waafull' of live ,
able-bodied sayages./1 Baw scores of
them and fancied I'waB encircled by a
cordon of Indians , all bent on deeds
of blood. Then I determined to bring
matters to a crisis to open tbo fight
all along the line to fire at the foe
and etriko one blow , single-handed
and alone , for
NEBRASKA AND THE ONION !
But I didn't just then , I Trailed a little
while. Then the wind rustled around
quite sharply , and I heard the whiz. !
whiz 1 whiz 1 of numerous arrows in
close proxmity to my mind. It was a
terrible moment. The fate of the
settlers hung upon my action. I
drew up my musket , siehtod
at something and then fired.
"Oagh ! " "Oush ; ! " "Oagh ! " Some
thing or somebody bounded away with
loud Brunts. The settlement was
aroused. The long roll boat to arms.
People rushed out pell-mell , and the
loud command of "lall-in boyo , fall-
in , " was given by the commanding of-
ficew. Old Air. Wlilttier forgot his
gun and fell into line with a pitch
fork. John Bloomer shoulder a big
club ; Judge Richprduen came up to
the scratch with a hoe in his hand ;
"Old Mike" McDonald took his place
in the ranks with a long-handled fry-
ln- pan , and Henry Paters rushed to
the scene of conflict with hU wife's
mop-siictc on his shoulder. Some
were hntleas , coatles * , bootless. Tne
excitement was intense. But all were
o-iger to meet the foe ; and wanted to
know where he was.
Afcr shooting , I had , like a good
soldier , shown my valor by my dis
cretion , retro > ted in good order nnd
joined the main army. I explained
the situation heavy guards were put
out , and the weiry troops elept that
night on their arms.
It was tho'funniest scare the army
ever hid , but I was sincere in all I
did. The next day , while we were
laughing at the grotesque appearance
of the army the night before , and
commenting on
THE BLOODY WORK ,
blndpoon , pitchfork , hoe , mop-stick
and Mike's frying-pan would have
performed , Henry Sprich came vnto
the barracks and said : "Py Shorge
poys , Bomopody shoots von off mine
hogs lasht night , and kills him to dot
like ter teupfel. " I did not remain to
hear the comments on this rascally
piece of business , but suggested , as I
went ont , that It must have been done
by the r < > d skins.
I conld fill a volume with incidents
anecdotes of that memorable campaign
and the men connected therewith.
Somn are still living , others have gone
to the dark chambers of the nnwin-
dewed grave.
It was the best company of citizen-
soldiers I over saw. They were gen
tlemen. There was not a rough era
a rowdy among them , and from the
time of their arrival at FonteneUc
until their departure not a complaint
was raised against any member of that
gallant band. I well remember Major
John Clopper , Capt. Cnrran and
Lieut. McNeoloy. Others I know ,
but cannot call them by name.
I could never understand why the
Quincy colony located Fontenelle on
the Elkhorn instead of on the Mis
souri or Platte river. Common fore
sight should have told those early pioneers
neers who picked out the location
that if ever a railroad was built west
from Omaha it would run along the ] J
Platte river. They could have had '
the choice of _ either Elkhorn City or
Frtmont. which at that 'iaio were va
