Red Cloud was founded on homestead land in 1871 by a group of men including Silas Garber 1833-1905 who would go on to serve as Nebraska's Governor from 1875 to 1879. The town was named by Garber and local businessmen in honor of the chief of the Olgalala tribe of the Teton-Lakota Sioux. When Webster County was organized Red Cloud was designated as the county seat. In 1879 the Burlington & Missouri River Railway reached Red Cloud -- stimulating immigration from America's eastern seaboard and bringing a variety of cultural heritages to town including those of Germany Scandinavia Great Britain and Canada Austro-Hungary aka Bohemians and so forth. The town's cultural melting pot was marvelously depicted in the literary works of Willa Cather who lived in Red Cloud for several years with her family beginning in 1883 at the age of nine. Cather would use the town as the basis for such fictional towns as "Black Hawk" in My Antonia 1918. We could find no copies recorded in OCLC.

1922rif. 21011461922. Malta Government Printing Office 1922. Foolscap folio. Original blue printed wrappers; pp. ii 71; margins of wrappers a bit frayed upper outer corner dog-eared; otherwise clean and fresh.Very rare first edition of this discussion of emigration from Malta to Australia Canada the US France and other European countries. 'The natives of the Maltese Islands are people of pure European race born within the British Empire who require no such leavening in order to carry and preserve the traditions of the British Empire and I submitted to Colonel Smith that physically and morally they are the equals of any of the Northern European people' p. 16. Great!'Mr Casolani 1869-1940 was Superintendent of Emigration in charge of the Department of Emigration until he retired in 1930. During his period in office more than 30000 prospective migrants applied and were interviewed by Mr Casolani. In 1921 we find him in France discussing the possibility of sending Maltese workers to those zones devastated by the First World War - this resulted in 624 workers being sent to France to work under the same conditions as the French. Apart from his enormous energy in his position he is probably best known for his capacity to convince the authorities including the imperial authorities in the UK of the need for establishing organised migration from Malta particularly to places like Australia. He made enormous efforts to convince the authorities in the UK including the various Australian States representatives that Maltese would make good migrants in Australia. He wrote endlessly about the suitability of Maltese migrants. He himself has noted: ""I have succeeded in creating a favourable image of our migrant"". He was always harping on the need for the preparation of migrants for their new destination. This involved not only the necessity to learn English but ""must also be prepared by being introduced to the laws customs history and geography of the country the intend to live in"". In particular he encouraged technical education evening classes for all adults and special courses on skills which were in demand' MaltaMigration.com.COPAC locates only two copies at Manchester and Oxford. unknown
