Greetings to those left alive !! In my constant quest to obtain early historical books that may assist genealogists in and around the Columbus Nebraska area, I can say, after several years, I have found one of them. As I have said in the past, I'll post such "finds" here for all to consider. This is the first time I have been able to do so. History of the State of Nebraska (Reprint) Chicago: The Western Historical Company A.T. Andreas, Proprietor 1882 Vol1 and Vol2 NOTE: This is a REPRINT - an effort through the sponsorship of the Gage County Historical Society, PO Box 793, Beatrice NE 68310 and is published by Windmill Publications Incorporated, 6628 Uebellhack Road Mount Vernon Indiana 47620 in 1995. Available at www.antiqbook.com McCormick Books, Book # 10879, key word "Nebraska History Genealogy" for US $110. The original two volume set, if it could be purchased today, would be in the thousands of dollars, if it could be found. The two volume's reprint weigh somewhere around 15 pounds. This is the source reference book from which all the little US $10.00 county books spring from sold everywhere today, it's also reprinted digitally on the internet. Lastly, it was the main reference book for Margaret Curry's "The History of Platte County". If I didn't already have a reprinted version, I would buy it. Tomasz
It's always great to have a printed copy in your library. But for those books you can't find, or you'd rather not invest in, be sure to check online sources. For example, this 2-volume set is online at: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/#top Sherri Brakenhoff [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas E.
