I4 ., an b 4 vi A -av-' ' -1-59 awv ETA To 'wsu' '-QL BLACK AND GOLD'26 THE PATHFINDERS John C. Fremont is perhaps one ol' the best known of the earlier explorers. He made five expeditions into the Northwest. His plan was to explore as far as the Mississippi River. Later he extended his explorations to the Rocky Mountains. His second trip was to the tide-water region of the Columbia river. On this trip his party was nearly destroyed by the hostile Indians hovering on his trail. The third trip was made for the purpose of surveying western land, and so he went far into the most remote West. lt was a journey filled with dreadful hardships and suffering. The aim of the fourth expedition was to discover a route to the Pacific. A rail- road was later built on the trail he followed. The last trip proved to be the most successful, for Fremont revealed easy mountain passes and threw open the Golden Gates of the New El Dorado. This brilliant figure and many others who have explored the Golden West, have established lor civilization a new spirit as well as a new country. 4 ,lust what white man was the hrst to touch Nebraska is unknown. Although many varied opinions are held, it is generally agreed that Coranado deserves that honor. There has been some dispute, however, as to whether his expedition of 1541 reached as far north as the region of Nebraska. The Mallet brothers are the Hrst delinitely known explorers of the State. These two Frenchmen led a party across this territory in 1739. V Lewis and Clark were the Hrst Americans to explore this region. They came up the Missouri river in 1804, traversed the country and made note of the conditions and character of the land. Thus the trail was blazed for the scores of men who tread it today. Following came the settlers who had the same courage and determination as the early Pathlinders. The principles and ideals of the people here are the result of the spirit of those who have gone before. And the principles for which this country stands are embodied in this hymn which may be sung to the world as a tribute to the Pathfinders. Here's chances for every man! The Hands that work Become the hands that rule! They harvests yield Only to him who toils and Hands that shirk Must empty go. And here the hands that wield The sceptre work! O glorious golden field! O bounteous, plentious land of poets dream O'er thy broad plain and cloudless sun ne'er wheeled But some dull heart was brightened by its gleam To seize on hope and realize Life's highest dream!
