Anecdotes Relating To "White Cow" Or "White Buffalo", R. W. Furnas Jan 1885

Anecdotes Relating To "White Cow" Or "White Buffalo", R. W. Furnas

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

NOTE.-The editor of this report was, during the life-time of “White Cow” or “White Buffalo," agent for the Omaha Indians, and familiar with the peculiar characteristics referred to by Mr. Fontenelle. A reference to two instances may not be an unpleasant digression.

I was once sent for in great haste by "White Cow," on an exceeding bitter cold day in December, the messenger stating the old Indian was about to die, and desired to make his will, appoint his successor, and such like. I went at once, and found the old man stretched out on a buffalo robe before a …

Amelia Fontenelle Lockett

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

This lady, notice of whose death appeared in last week's Economist, was a native of Louisiana, and a direct descendant of a powerful family of the French nobility, a daughter, if we are informed correctly, of the Marquis de Fontenelle, a nobleman of great wealth and character, whose property was contiguous to the city of Marseilles, but who in all probability had sought, like many others, either health or increased fortune on the fertile shores of New France.

Gold At Pike’S Peak – Rush For – Stampede, A. L. Child Jan 1885

Gold At Pike’S Peak – Rush For – Stampede, A. L. Child

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

There is no portion of the history of the past which is not largely obscured, distorted, or absolutely falsified through the omission of unwritten portions.

We are prone to forget or fail to realize how intense the interest of the future may be in the doings of to-day. Or if we feel the importance of leaving a record we are apt to note only the fading and vanishing items of the past. To make a record of transactions and happenings of to-day, of that which everyone knows all about, seems uncalled for and useless labor.

Through this neglect important springs …

Mrs. Caroline Joy Morton

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

Caroline Joy Morton was born on the 9th of August; 1833, at Hallowell, in Maine. Her father was Hiram Joy. He was of Irish descent. His ancestry, as far back as the family records in this country go, were seafaring people. They who go down to the sea in ship learn to cast out fear, and meet danger and toil and watching with steady nerve and toughened muscle. Their children have a heritage of courage and resolution, and the breath of the salt sea air is their constant stimulant. Her mother was Caroline Hayden. She, too, was reared in the …

Notes Relating To Fontenelle Family, A. L. Thompson

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

While at New Orleans during the Exposition of 1884-5, a very intelligent, well-preserved, elderly lady called at my office, Nebraska Headquarters, introducing herself as Mrs. Thompson, then of Chicago, and cousin of Henry Fontenelle. She was an exceedingly fluent and interesting conversationalist. She entered into details as to the history of the old French Fontenelle families. Before she left my office, I begged her on returning to her home, and at leisure, to furnish me in writing what information she had given me verbally during the to me pleasant hour of her visit.

The Philosophy Of Emigration, J. M. Woolworth

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

It is fit that in this year of grace, 1880, and in this month of January, we should, by public exercises now held for the first time, mark a period in the history of the state.

It was in March, 1854, that the Indians, by treaty, ceded these regions to the United States, and in May, that a system of government was framed for them. In October, Francis Burt, the first governor landed on these shores. In a few weeks he died, and the work of organization devolved on Thomas B. Cuming, the secretary. On the 21st day of October …

Some Historical Data About Washington County, W. H. Woods

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

Agreeable to our promise to continue our investigations; we, last Tuesday, visited the site of the old village mentioned in Bell’s History of Washington County, page 39, as the site of an old Mormon settlement of 1845; but thought by Mr. Grenell and others to have been of much older date, and probably a farm station or outpost of either Fort Atkinson, which lay about one mile east, or Fort Calhoun, four miles south.
