Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nebraska Her Resources, Advantages, Advancement and Promises
It may certainly be classed as a prairie country, but not ?at like that of Illinois. This is gently undulating, and one noticeable feature is the valleys in connection with the uplands, giving the settler a choice of any location he may desire. Lands can be had entirely suited for the plow, or those where farming and pasturage can be combined. High table lands for grain, with adjoining valleys where heavy crops of the finest hay can be cut, and where cattle and sheep can find both pasturage and protection in winter.
The growth in population, wealth, agricultural advancement, and all other essentials, are such as to warrant the assertion that Nebraska is the great Western State of the very near future. A State only since 1867, a territory from 1854 to that date, her population now is over one million-happy, prosperous people. Her assessed valuation is over one hundred million. This is but about one-third the actual valuation.
