The Nebraska and Kansas Territory: Steamer passing Baton Rouge, Nebraska, 1856. Paddle steamer named "Uncle Sam" on the Mississipi, with Old Louisiana State Capitol in the distance. 'Nebraska is the name given to a portion of that extensive unoccupied territory of the United States the boundaries of which are the 40th parallel of N. lat, on the S.; Utah, Oregon, and Washington territories, on the W.; the 49th parallel of N. lat , on the N.: and the territory of Minnesota, and the States of Iowa and Missouri, on the E...The territory is doubtless a valuable acquisition to the United States. Large portions will afford extensive fields for agricultural enterprise, and already it is decided that a railway shall pass through it to California. The western portion will be valuable for little else besides grazing. There are also large portions that are very mountainous, sandy, and barren'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
