Remini Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher 1 Discovery and Settlement of the New World here are many intriguing mysteries surrounding the peo- T pling and discovery of the western hemisphere. Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs. -

2003 Valentine National Wildlife Refuge Annual Narrative
VALENTINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Valentine, Nebraska Annual Narrative Report Calendar Year 2003 INTRODUCTION Valentine National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) was established on August 4, 1935 under the Migratory Bird Conservation Act by Executive Order 7142. The purpose of the refuge as stated in the executive order is “as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife.” Acquisition funding came from Duck Stamp sales and the Emergency Conservation Fund Of 1933. The 71,712-acre Valentine NWR is located in the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska. The Sandhills contain the largest remaining stands of mid and tall grass native prairie left in North America. The refuge is a unique and ecologically important component of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The refuge has about 49,000 acres of grassy, undulating sand dunes, 13,000 acres of sub-irrigated meadows, and 10,000 acres of shallow lakes and marshes. The refuge is home to 271 species of birds, 59 species of mammals, and 22 species of reptiles and amphibians. The refuge is important to nesting and migrating waterfowl and is also one of the few places where good numbers of sharp-tailed grouse and prairie chickens can be found in the same area. Several threatened or endangered birds stop at the refuge during migration. Two listed plants and one listed insect are also found here. Most of the native flora and fauna found here historically are still present today. The refuge is part of a complex administered from Fort Niobrara NWR. Valentine NWR is in Cherry County with a subheadquarters located on Hackberry Lake, 17 miles south of the town of Valentine on US 83 then 13 miles west on State Spur 16B. -

Nebraska State Historical Society & Film Records: 1878-Current Cubic Ft.: 165.5 Approx
ARCHIVES RECORD RG014 Nebraska. Nebraska State Historical Society & film Records: 1878-current Cubic ft.: 165.5 Approx. # of Items: 350 boxes and oversize HISTORICAL NOTE The Nebraska State Historical Society is the oldest state institutions organized as the Nebraska Historical and Library Association in 1867. On September 25, 1878 this association was reorganized as the Nebraska State Historical Society. The University of Nebraska provided space to house the records and property of the Society, and the first annual meetings were held at the University. In 1883 the Nebraska State Historical Society was designated a state institution and the legislature made an appropriation to carry on Society activities. Because of this appropriation, the Society was able to begin publishing the first volume of Transactions and Reports. The Society is governed by a twelve- member executive board elected by members and three who are gubernatorial appointees. It is assisted by the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation which solicits and accepts gifts of real or personal property for the use and benefit of the Nebraska State Historical Society and gives financial support to many of its programs. The first Secretary of the Nebraska State Historical Society was Dr. Samuel Aughey of the University of Nebraska, who served until 1885 when Professor George E. Howard assumed this position. Howard remained Secretary and Superintendent of the Society until 1891 when he was succeeded by Howard W. Caldwell, also of the University of Nebraska. A staff of permanent employees was retained during Caldwell's administration and the Society began more active work in the collection and preservation of materials relating to Nebraska's history. -
