Additional Details

Otoe City was located on the Missouri River about 6 miles south of Nebraska City. This circular promises a pleasant climate, rich soil, mineral resources, and easy transportation. A settlement company went west in April 1856, but the town never flourished, and was long since vacated by the end of the century (see the Nebraska State Journal, 17 March 1901). One in OCLC (Yale University) and none traced at auction.
