Myth Of Great American Desert Hindered Nebraska Settlement
Nebraska territorial Governor Samuel Black challenged the Long expedition view that the plains between the Platte River and the Rocky Mountains were a desert. He argued the region supported rich soil and diverse crops, urging Nebraskans to reject false history and assert the land’s fertility. He cited corn potatoes melons and other crops to prove arable conditions.
