First Birthday of Alliance and Box Butte Excitement
A 1888 Alliance feature recalls Louis Buechsenstein’s reminiscence of a March issue of The North-Western Times. The piece highlights a Box Butte real estate excursion, sales of town lots above 1 000 dollars, a large crowd from across the state, a parade, and a program including a speech at the Palace hotel, band performances, and exhibits. A street procession, land agents, and rapid town construction underline faith in Alliance’s future.
