Nevertheless it is not wholly complete. There are a few town names in many counties concerning which I could obtain no accurate information. Hence they are not entered. There are other names concerning which my information is deficient despite my best efforts. More- over Nebraska is a large state and new towns are con- stantly springing up, especially in the remoter counties. I would like to have the record for the state as complete as possible. Additional information and corrective or supple- mentary material, where these may be needed, will be gladly received by me. One could scarcely hope that a work entering such a multitude of details could be free from misstatements. Great pains were taken, however, to minimize the number of errors. Authoritative material is at hand for practically every statement made by me with regard to Nebraska place- names. In obtaining the information incorporated in this work not only was all available literature collated but an exten- sive correspondence was maintained with hundreds of peo- ple throughout the state, including county, state, and United States government officials, editors, bankers, and local historians. In fact any one was approached who seemed to possess the information needed. The list of those giving assistance is too long to be included in full. I am indebted to Professor Louise Pound of the De- partment of English of the University of Nebraska for the suggestion that a study of Nebraska place-names might be both valuable and interesting, and also for her aid during the progress of the work. I am under especial obligations to Grant L. Shumway, the historian of the western coun- ties of Nebraska, for very material aid with reference to Scotts Bluff, Banner, Morrill, Box Butte, and Sioux coun- ties. Dr. Melvin R. Gilmore gave his kindly attention to the place-names of Indian origin and made many valuable 0 additions and corrections. Hon. C. H. Morrill of Stroms- burg gave valuable information in a number of instances. Mr. D. T. Heynen, county clerk of Kimball county, contributed much of the information for Kimball county. Miss Mabel E. Swanson of Holdrege gave the same service for Phelps county, Mr. H. 0. Smith of Lexington for Daw- son county, Mr. S. C. Bassett of Gibbon for Buffalo county, Judge Ira E. Tash of Alliance for Box Butte county, J. W. Barton of Bartley for Frontier county, J. S. Dellinger of Astoria, Oregon, for Grant county, John Armour, county clerk, Gandy, for Logan county, Ira E. Cumpston of Tryon for McPherson county, John Howe of Stockville for Frontier county, J. C. Puckett of Indianola for Red Willow county, T. J. Scott, Register of Deeds, Kearney, for Buffalo county, Charles W. Meeker and James Burke, Imperial, for Chase county, Harold J. Cook, Agate, for Sioux county, J. E. Thackrey, Simeon, for Cherry county, Leslie Roseberry, Lincoln, for Cherry and Hooker counties, and Emma N. Andersen for Dodge county. I am under many obligations to Professor T. J. Fitz- patrick. He financed the investigation, planned the method of procedure, suggested the arrangement of the material, and through the entire work was mentor, guide, critic, and proof reader. During my absence from Ne- braska he continued the investigation and brought the work to its present state of Completion. LILIAN L. FITZPATRICI<. Bethany, Nebraska. INTRODUCTION A study of Nebraska place-names reveals six general classes, as follows: (1) A class containing personal names, such as the surnames of early settlers, railroad officials, prominent men, etc. ; (2) names derived from local features or characteristics, i. e., names descriptive of localities; (3) names transferred from foreign places; (4) Indian names; (5) original or coined names; (6) miscellaneous names. The same grouping holds for the names of Ne- braska counties except that there are no original or coined names for counties. Of these groups the first includes over fifty per cent of the county names. At least eleven of these. names are derived from presidents of the United States, for example Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Fillmore, Pierce, Lincoln, and Grant. The next largest group in- cludes the counties named for famous generals. A few of these are Custer, Kearney, Logan, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas, Wayne, and Hooker. Statesmen and men in poli- tics also play a prominent part in county names, since six- teen per cent of the total number are derived from them. Two counties, Nuckolls and Dixon, are named for pioneers; and two, Harlan and Keith, are named for prominent local men. One county, Merrick, is named for a woman, Miss Elvira Merrick, wife of the representative who introduced the bill for the establishment of the county. Among the counties the names of which are descrip- tive of localities are Valley, Rock, Saline, and Box Butte, all of which are derived from local characteristics. The names Antelope and Buffalo suggest that these animals were natives d the vicinities at the time the counties wer-e named. The name Cedar is descriptive of the trees in this county. - The name Frontier is both interesting and pic- turesque since it indicates that this county seemed to its namers to be located on the border of civilization. Three counties, Lancaster, York, and Madison have ilames transferred from foreign places, Both Lancaster and York are names derived from counties in Pennsylvania which in turn derived their names from counties in Eng- land. The name Madison is taken from Madison county, Wisconsin, from which the majority of settlers in the Ne- braska county came. Seven counties bear Indian names and one county, Red Willow, has for its name the English translation of an Indian word. Of these counties six, Cheyenne, Dakota, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, and Sioux, are named for Indian tribes. The seventh county, Keya Paha, has a name de- scriptive of the small hills in its vicinity. A direct trans- lation of the words Keya Paha is "turtle hill". The re- maining county, Red Willow, is a mis-translation of the Dakota name Chan-shasha Wakpala, literally Red Dogwood Creek, this shrub being abundant along its banks. The last and smallest class, that of miscellaneous names, includes only two county names. Banner and Gar- den. The name Banner is interesting and is rather unusual in the sense in which it is used. It was intended by its creators to indicate that this county would be the leading or "banner" county of the state. In this class may also be placed Garden county. Its creators expected it to become the "garden spot" of the state. The majority of Nebraska towns have been given per- sonal names, chiefly the surnames of pioneers, early rail- road officials, and prominent men. Of these groups, the first is by far the largest, for over two hundred places named for early settlers may be recorded. Of this number about seventy places are named for their first postmasters to whom much credit is due for establishing the first means of communication with the outside world. Fifteen or more towns are named for their founders, some of whom were settlers and homesteaders and others members of town- site companies. The next largest group includes the towns named for early officials on the railroads. A few of these officials, such as those after whom were named Steele, Hast- ings, Sidney, and Blair, held important positions; but the majority were engineers, conductors, surveyors, and even ordinary workmen. In the general ~la~~ifi~ati~nof towns named for men, the majority are named for men of national celebrity. Of this number Grant, Pierce, Mon- roe, Garfield, Lincoln, and Hayes are represented among the presidents. Several towns, however, e. g., Bancroft, Emerson, Dumas, Lowell, Dickens, Ruskin, and Byron, are named for famous writers of whom only three are American. Famous generals are remembered in the towns Grant, Havelock, Ord, Martel, Sheridan, and Kearney, Two of these generals, Martel, the eighth-century king of the Franks, and Havelock, the British general, were foreign leaders. Political leaders are prominent in the naming of many towns, some of the most important of whom are Gresham, Kennard, Cuming, Colfax, Calhoun, and Norris. De Soto and Frkmont are represented among the explorers and Franklin and Gladstone among the famous statesmen. Two towns, Coleridge and Hartington, are named for Eng- lish lords who happened to be traveling in this country at the time when the towns were established. Even the scien- tists are remembered, witness the towns of Huxley and Humboldt which were named by early Nebraska citizens who studied and enjoyed the works of these men.

They migrated southward through the area of Wisconsin and Minnesota to the Mississippi River. Those who became known as the Ioway remained at the junction of the Iowa River, while the rest of the band traveled on, further West and South to the Missouri River. At the fork of the Grand River, a quarrel ensued between the families of two chiefs, and the band of people divided into the Otoe and Missouria tribes. The two communities remained autonomous until the Missouria suffered near annihilation from sickness and intertribal warfare over hunting boundaries aggravated by the fur trade. The remnant group merged with the Otoes in 1798 under their chiefs. However, by the 1830’s they had been absorbed by the larger community. In the 1880’s, the leaders went South and selected lands between the Ponca and Pawnee in Oklahoma Territory. Their numbers had been reduced to 334 members. The oral tradition of the several communities had ceased, on the whole, by the early 1940’s, although several contemporary versions of stories and accompanying songs were recorded by this writer from the last fluent speakers in 1970 - 1987. The final two fluent speaker of Ioway - Otoe-Missouria language died at Red Rock, Oklahoma in the Winter of 1996.

    “Sent Out By Our Great Father” Zebulon Montgomery Pike’s Journal and Route Across Kansas, 1806 edited by Leo E. Oliva ebulon Montgomery Pike, a lieutenant in the First U.S. Infantry, led an exploring expe- dition in search of the source of the Mississippi River in 1805–1806. Soon after his return to St. Louis in July 1806, General James Wilkinson sent Lieutenant Pike, promoted to cap- tain a few weeks later, to explore the southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase, de- parting from the military post of Belle Fontaine near St. Louis on July 15, 1806. His expedition began as Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were nearing completion of their two-year expedition up the Missouri River and across the mountains to the Pacific Ocean and back. Pike crossed present Mis- Zsouri, most of the way by boat on the Missouri and Osage Rivers, where he delivered fifty-one mem- bers of the Osage tribe to the village of the Grand Osage in late August. On September 3 Pike entered present Kansas at the end of the day. His command, including Lieutenant James B. Wilkinson (son of General Wilkinson), Dr. John H. Robinson (civilian surgeon accompanying the ex- pedition), interpreter Antoine François “Baronet” Vásquez (called Baroney in the journal), and eighteen en- listed men, was accompanied by several Osages and two Pawnees as guides. Because of bad feelings between the Osage and Kansa Indians, some of Pike’s Osage guides turned back, and those who continued led his party a Leo E. Oliva, a native Kansan and a former university professor, became interested in frontier military history during the centennial celebration of the founding of Fort Larned in 1959 and has been researching and writing about the frontier army ever since.

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.
