Lincoln's Early Architecture
Author

ISBN
9781531669317
Lincoln's predecessor, Lancaster, formed in 1863 on the east bank of Salt Creek around a proposed Methodist female seminary. Though a building was erected, the school failed to materialize. When Nebraska became the 37th state in 1867, the village of Lancaster was chosen as its first capital, and the name was changed to Lincoln. Although lacking mineral resources, a navigable stream, a railroad, or even a minimal population, the village steadily grew and prospered from its 30 original inhabitants to its present population of more than 260,000. At the time of its origins, critics claimed, "Nobody will ever go to Lincoln who does not go to the legislature, the lunatic asylum, the penitentiary, or some of the state institutions." Images of America: Lincoln's Early Architecture traces the city's growth, including three state capitols and the University of Nebraska, into a modern city of diverse people, events, and businesses.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Matthew Hansen, James McKee, Edward ZimmerPublisher: Arcadia Publishing Library EditionsPublished: 05/19/2014ISBN: 9781531669317Pages: 130Weight: 0.91lbsSize: 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d
