Bellevue Nebraska and the coming Pacific Railroad era
A Nebraska reminiscence describes Bellevue as an elevated lakefront plateau on the Missouri near the Platte with 400 residents, mission lands, and 640 acres granted by Omaha Indians. It sketches future railroad routes Davenport Missouri and Burlington Missouri, speculation in town lots, and Traders Point growth. The piece retells Peter Sarpy’s aid to Brigham Young’s Mormon migration, bonding with the Indian trader and his enduring status in the territory.
