Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Provisional Government of Nebraska Territory, and the Journals of William Walker, Provisional Governor of Nebraska Territory
It is now almost twenty years since I commenced the col lection of original documents relating to the early history Of Nebraska Territory. Those published in this work are a portion of the collection which I have made. They were Obtained principally from the Wyandots, now either dead or living in the Indian Territory; for few Of them remain yet at the Old home at the con?uence Of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. I found them anxious to have these papers preserved; for this purpose they gave them to me. I have been given all the assistance that the Wyandots could render as well in this as in all matters pertaining to their history, manners, customs, and ancient religious beliefs. It was my good for tune to have the confidence of Matthias Splitlog, H. M. Northrup, Mrs. Lucy B. Armstrong, the Walkers, the Zanes, the Longs, and other prominent vvyandot families, for the whole time of my residence in the Wyandot Purchase at the mouth Of the Kansas River.
