IN 1805 Manuel Lisa founded at Bellevue a trading-post for commerce with the Indians, and the American Fur Co. in 1810 established another little post at the same place. Their official, Colonel Peter A. Sarpy, located at Bellevue in 1824, and became the first permanent white settler in Nebraska. Old Fort Kearney was established at Nebraska City in 1847, and New Fort Kearney (on the Platte River) in 1848, for the protection of the Oregon Trail. The Mormon exodus of 1847, and the great overland migrations started by the discovery of gold in California, called attention to the Platte country. In 1850 the Lone-Tree Ferry was established to carry emigrants across the Missouri, and the next year the ferryman staked off the first claim at Omaha, the town being laid out in 1854. After the collapse of the Pike's Peak gold excitement in 1859, thousands of weary adventurers moved eastward to Nebraska and opened up farms. The pioneers wrongly rated the high prairies as sterile, and located along the river-bottoms, and it was difficult to get them out on to the uplands. During the early days the settlers suffered greatly from the forays of the Indians, who killed many of the pioneers and ravaged the remote valleys.

ILLUSTRATIONS: Early Potter; Friar Padilla, Missionary of 16th Century; Settlers 1849.
