C.
E. Lykke Residence
Grand Island,
Nebraska, ca. 1890
C. E. Lykke's residence was built in 1889
at the corner of Third Street and Eddy Street in Grand Island, Nebraska.
Mr. C. E. Lykke and his wife can be seen seated in the horse drawn buggy
at the far right. It is little wonder the Lykke's traveled in style,
Mr. Lykke owned and operated a buggy and carriage business in Grand Island. |
| Emma
Goodman Civil War Letters, 1863-1865
From 1863 to 1865,
Emma Goodman received letters from Edward Pierson, a bugler with Battery
C of the 1st Michigan Light Artillery in the Union Army. In the the
letters that survive, Pierson writes about everything from the "dull monotony"
of camp life to the death of President Lincoln. The Pierson letters are
a lesson in geography and testify to the mail service during the Civil
War. Written in five different states over a two-year period, the
letters recount "Sherman's March to the Sea." |
