| Summary | "To and Through Nebraska" by Frances I. Sims Fulton is a personal narrative written in the late 19th century. This work details the author's experiences and observations as she travels with the Nebraska Mutual Aid Colony from Pennsylvania to Nebraska. The narrative serves as both a memoir and an account of the challenges faced by settlers during this time, particularly focusing on the trials and triumphs of those who emigrated for a new life in the West. At the start of the work, the narrative introduces the circumstances that lead to the author's journey to Nebraska, emphasizing the mix of excitement and trepidation among the colonists as they prepare to leave their familiar homes. The author recounts details of her family's motivations for joining the colony, including hopes for land ownership and a better life. As the party departs, poignant farewells reveal the emotional toll of leaving loved ones behind. The opening portion also vividly sets the scene for their journey, capturing the camaraderie among the travelers and their initial encounters with the stark and alluring landscape of Nebraska, establishing a backdrop of hope and resilience amidst the uncertainties of frontier life.
