The Nebraska and Kansas Territory: Steamer passing Baton Rouge, Nebraska, 1856. Creator: Unknown
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Nebraska and Kansas Territory: Steamer passing Baton Rouge, Nebraska, 1856," offers a glimpse into the history of the expanding American frontier. The image depicts the paddle steamer named "Uncle Sam" making its way down the Mississippi River, with the Old Louisiana State Capitol visible in the distance. At the time this photograph was taken, Nebraska Territory was a newly acquired expanse of land, with its boundaries defined by the 40th parallel of N. latitude on the south, Utah, Oregon, and Washington territories, the 49th parallel of N. latitude on the north, the territory of Minnesota, and the states of Iowa and Missouri on the east. The acquisition of Nebraska was considered a significant addition to the United States, with large portions offering promising opportunities for agricultural enterprise and the potential for a railway to pass through, connecting the territory to California. The western portion was believed to be valuable primarily for grazing, while other areas were considered mountainous, sandy, and barren. The "Illustrated London News," from which this photograph is sourced, expressed great enthusiasm for the potential of Nebraska Territory, highlighting its agricultural possibilities and the prospect of a transcontinental railway. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the allure and promise of the American frontier during this period of expansion and growth.
