Forty Years Of Nebraska At Home And In Congress Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Forty Years of Nebraska, at Home and in Congress After a continuous residence of thirty-three years in Nemaha County, four of which were with the celebrated First Nebraska Regiment, and eight in the United States Senate, having suffered a sudden loss of health, I found a very pleasant pastime and most genial employment in recalling the early days of Nebraska pioneer ing. My first impulse was to utter Opinions of men and measures. But remembering how liable we all are to make mistakes, and being fearful of doing injustice, by omission or prejudice, to some of my associates, I determined, as far as possible, to become only the re corder of their public works and compiler of their sentiments and oratorical gems.

Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of James Laird, a Representative From Nebraska: Delivered in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, Fifty-First Congress, First Session His career as Congressman began with the Forty-eighth Congress. And he had just entered upon his fourth succes sive term. His achievements in the national House of Rep resentatives have been many and notable ones, which gave him prominence there among the strong and influential men of that body. He was especially solicitous for the welfare of the old soldier, for whom he labored with untiring zeal. The demands made upon him from a large and growing dis trict were even too much for a naturally strong and vigorous nature, both physically and mentally, such as were his. He devoted himself assiduously to the toil imposed upon him, but he was unable to hold up under the burden and broke down.

Excerpt from Douglas, Lincoln and the Nebraska Bill Let me anticipate by the reminder that the alleged offense of Douglas in the Nebraska compromise lay in substituting this interdiction of nature for the positive, but as Clay pointed out, temporary interdiction of a law of congress, known as the first, or Missouri, compromise.

Excerpt from Johnson's History of Nebraska This volume has been the outgrowth of a desire, not only of myself, as an individual, once an actor in all these scenes of fron. Tier life, but as a cherished feeling of the people of the State, and particularly the Old settlers, that a permanent record should be made of the early days. The men who left their eastern homes and came to build up a new State in the great sisterhood of States were men of no ordinary stamp. There might be, as there always are in such new settlements, mere adventurers, reckless speculators, and selfish persons, but the rank and the file, the bone and the muscle, were men who came to stay. Men who counted the cost, who measured the sacrifices, who knew that they were coming to the wilderness, to the abodes of savage life, that they would leave for a time the comforts and luxuries of civilization, that they with their wives and children in founding a new basis of civilization would endure suffering and exposure, if not actual want; but these men had the vision of to-dav before them; they saw with prophetic eye the oncoming thousands; they saw the fields blos sowing for the harvest, they heard the songs of harvest home.
