In this centennial year, now drawing to a close, during which nearly everybody seemed to be hunting up the records of the past, so full of interest to us of the present and to those of the hereafter, it ap^ peared eminently proper to me that an early history of Omaha should and ought to be written, and early in the year I concluded to under- take the task. The idea, however, was not fully conceived until after Gen. Estabrook had prepared and read his Centennial Historical Ad- dress on the Fourth of July. That address was brief and general, but good a- far as it went. But it did not go very far, with all due respect to Gen. Estabrook. Knowing that Omaha had an early his- tory full of exciting and interesting incidents—a history that perhaps is unequalled in many respects by that of any other western city I determined then and there to at once carry out my idea of a his- tory of this city, which the reader will find embodied in this little volume. I immediately commenced the work in a systematic manner, be- ginning with hunting up the bottom facts, and building up on this foundation. During a five years' connection with the daily press of this city I have had numerous opportunities to make and cultivate the acquaintance of the " old settlers." I have improved '.hose op- portunities, and have never neglected to make a memorandum on the tablets of my memory of whatever of interest concerning the early history of Omaha, that I may have heard during my talks and walks with the " old settlers." Those "old settlers," by the way, are a very entertaining set of persons, possessed with a charming vein of humor which runs through all their recitals of early times, and I have passed many a pleasant hour in their society, on different occasions, while in search. — PREFACE. I of material with which to construct a readable history of Omaha. Thi-v can spin a vain to their own satisfaction as well as to that of their audience. All that is needed to set most of them going is to draw them out, in a reportorial way. Some of them, indeed, may be said to have a little egotism mixed with a good deal of pride characteristics that have been developed by the rapid and substantial growth of the beautiful city which they assisted to found and build up. Their pride is justly excusable on this account. They have seen and watched with a tender care the infant grow from childhood to a healthy and vigorous manhood, as it were. Omaha's history is well worth handing down to posterity, and I believe it will prove of deep interest to the many thousands of to those who people now living here and in the immediate vicinity ; shall removed hence to come after us ; and also to those who have distant jioints, but whose memories still cling round the spot with a tender fondness. Believing that there was a demand for such a history as this, and knowing that such a work, carefully compiled and carefully written, would meet with the hearty approval and substantial support of the citizens of Omaha, I did not hesitate in the enterprise. I have endeavored to present the facts —and facts only—in a readable shape, and I know that the style in which they are clothed, is an improvement, in some measure at_ least, on the necessarily hurried, rough, and perhaps reckless writing of the daily newspaper reporter. I will say this much for myself; as to farther criticism, be it favor- hie or unfavorable, I leave the reader to make it. Each chapter will be found complete in itself—a sort of sketch. Yet the chapters or sketches are so arranged that they form what may be properly termed a connected narrative of the early events and incidents in Omaha's history. I have found the writing of this history an entertaining employment of leisure hours, and have hardly 1 the time so spent. Little by little it grew to a volume of re- spectable dimensions. So it was with the city of Omaha, and so will she continue to increase in size, importance, wealth, culture and general loveliness, and never shall any envious rival snatch from her brow the laurel wreath and the title entwined therein, which she has so justly won—"The Queen City of the Missouri Valley." PREFA CE. 5 The early history of Omaha is to some extent the early history of 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 in 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 indebted to am 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." I have drawn rather liberally on Dr. Miller, wtfiose pen has at different times been employed in recording ineresting reminiscences, which, by the way, have been about the only early history of Omaha that has been given to the public.

URL of article: http://www.nebraskahistory.org/publish/publicat/history/full-text/1987-4-Dennison_Riot.pdf Date: 2/10/2010 Article Summary: In the spring of 1921 Omahans returned James Dahlman to the mayor’s office, replacing Edward P Smith. One particular event convinced Omaha voters that Smith and his divided commissioners must go in order to recapture the stability enjoyed under political boss Tom “the Old Man” Dennison and the Dahlman administration. The role of Dennison and his men in the riot of September 26, 1919, remains equivocal so far as Will Brown’s arrest and murder. However, Dennison and the Bee helped create conditions ripe for the outbreak of racial violence. Errata (if any) Cataloging

    THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION . BY KENNETH GERALD ALFERS A THESIS Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the Creighton University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Omaha, 19^8 S- 2 0 - 0 2 f / h es 15 /* 2 2 V / % > 0 fklZb C . 2 Thesis Approved Preface International expositions have received relatively little attention from scholars in the past. Nevertheless, expositions are illustrative of man’s progress and development. There is hardly a more striking example of this fact than the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition held at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. * Since the frontier had been pronounced as closed only a few years before, it was fitting that the trans-Mississippi region display its wealth as well as its capabilities. Omaha was fortunate to be the host city for an exposition that symbolized the progress of the West. The city benefited greatly, being infused with an economic and spiritual uplift at a most opportune time. The primary objective of this thesis is to present a comprehensive description of the Trans- Mississippi Exposition, In doing so, however, I will also analyze its success and attempt to place it in its historical perspective. Many people aided me in the realization of this endeavor. Two of them deserve more thanks than my I MEMORIAL UBRART Cmfhtwi University Omaha, Nebraska vl mere expression of the word, can convey. My thesis advisor. Reverend Robert J. Shanahan, S.J., was most enlightening and patient in his direction. My indebtedness to him goes beyond this thesis, for he has been an inspiration during my entire graduate program at Creighton.

  • Durham Gets “In Focus” Ortraits Are, Literally and Figuratively, Reflections of Ourselves, and the Memorable Ones Have a Psimple, Yet Profound Universal Appeal
    OMAHA’S HOME TO HISTORY “The Enemy Within” Explores Terror on American Soil any American citizens either don’t remember or don’t know that September 11th was not the first Mtime Americans were threatened on their own soil. Americans have known and dealt with acts of terror since the founding days of the Republic and will continue to face those challenges in years ahead. Reminding Americans of this fact is the Durham Western Heritage Museum’s latest exhibit, The Enemy Within: Terror in America - 1776 to Today - a creation of Washington D.C.’s International Spy Museum™. From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism, The Enemy Within provides unprecedented perspective into terror on American soil. Uncovering the forgotten stories of domestic terrorists, foreign agents, militant radicals, and saboteurs who have threatened America’s sense of security, the exhibit explores key questions: How do we identify who the enemy is? And how do we keep America safe without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded? Organized by Evergreen Exhibitions, The Enemy Within is divided into nine major themes: the country’s first hundred years, anarchist violence, labor movements, the Ku Klux Klan, world wars, communism, political violence, social violence, and security changes in a post-9/11 world. Each themed environment allows viewers to witness first-hand the terror and reactions of the government and public with the help of interactive displays, guest polling, artifacts, historical photos and film footage, video displays, and a timeline covering 170 acts of terror in America. The Enemy Within: Terror in America - 1776 to Today will be on display at the Durham Western Heritage Museum from September 8, 2007, to January 6, 2008.
