Excerpt from Early History of Omaha; Or Walks and Talks Among the Old Settlers The early history of Omaha is to some extent the early history nof Nebraska, and this 'is true to some degree even in the history of later years. Hence we often hear even now our city referred to, by jealous rivals in our State, as the State of Omaha, and the State as its suburbs. The greater portion of this volume has never before appeared -ih print. Some of it, however, has been published before, but in differ ent shape. My information has been obtained from the very best and most reliable sources - from the old settlers' themselves, from the early legislative journals, and from the early newspapers. For valuable assistance and information I am indebted to Hon. A. J. Hanscom, Hon. A. J. Poppleton, Gen. Estabrook, A. D. Jones, Esq., Byron Reed, Esq., Dr. Miller, John A. Creighton, John T. Bell, Mr. And Mrs. W. P. Snowden, Mrs. W. D. Brown, Judge Porter, Martin Dunham, Thomas Riley, Maj. Armstrong and many other prominent old settlers.
