The
Flag of Nebraska
Nebraska (
nə-BRASS -kə ) is a triply landlocked
state in the
Midwestern region of the
United States . It borders
South Dakota to the north;
Iowa to the east and
Missouri to the southeast, both across the
Missouri River ;
Kansas to the south;
Colorado to the southwest; and
Wyoming to the west. Nebraska is the
16th largest state by land area , with just over 77,220 square miles (200,000 km2 ). With a population of over 1.9 million, it is the
37th most populous state and the
7th least densely populated . Its
capital is
Lincoln , and its
most populous city is
Omaha , which is on the
Missouri River . Nebraska was admitted into the United States in 1867, two years after the end of the
American Civil War . The
Nebraska Legislature is unlike any other American legislature in that it is
unicameral , and its members are elected without any official reference to
political party affiliation .
Nebraska is composed of two major land regions: the
Dissected Till Plains and the
Great Plains . The Dissected Till Plains region consists of gently rolling hills and contains the state's largest cities, Omaha and Lincoln. The Great Plains region, occupying most of western Nebraska, is characterized by treeless
prairie . Eastern Nebraska has a
humid continental climate while western Nebraska is primarily
semi-arid . The state has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures; the variations decrease in southern Nebraska. Violent
thunderstorms and
tornadoes occur primarily during spring and summer, and sometimes in autumn.
Chinook wind tends to warm the state significantly in the winter and early spring.
Indigenous peoples, including
Omaha ,
Missouria ,
Ponca ,
Pawnee ,
Otoe , and various branches of the
Lakota (
Sioux ) tribes, lived in the region for thousands of years before
European discovery and exploration . The state is crossed by many historic trails, including that of the
Lewis and Clark Expedition . The completion of the
Transcontinental Railroad through Nebraska and passage of the
Homestead Acts led to rapid growth in the population of
American settlers in the 1870s and 1880s and the development of a large agriculture sector for which the state is known to this day. (

Echo Canyon, Utah on Mormon Trail
The
Mormon Trail is the 1,300-mile (2,100 km) long route from Illinois to Utah on which
Mormon pioneers (members of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ) traveled from 1846–47. Today, the Mormon Trail is a part of the United States
National Trails System , known as the Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail .
The Mormon Trail extends from
Nauvoo, Illinois , which was the principal settlement of the
Latter Day Saints from 1839 to 1846, to
Salt Lake City, Utah , which was settled by
Brigham Young and his followers beginning in 1847. From
Council Bluffs, Iowa to
Fort Bridger in Wyoming, the trail follows much the same route as the
Oregon Trail and the
California Trail ; these trails are collectively known as the
Emigrant Trail . (

Jaime King (born April 23, 1979) is an American actress and model. In her modeling career and early film roles, she used the names Jamie King and James King , which was a childhood nickname given to King by her parents, because her agency already represented another Jaime—the older, then-more famous model Jaime Rishar.
A successful model, King was discovered at age 14 in 1993 and appeared in
Vogue ,
Mademoiselle and
Harper's Bazaar , among other fashion magazines. From 1998, she moved into acting, taking small film roles. Her first major role was in
Pearl Harbor (2001) and her first starring movie role was in
Bulletproof Monk (2003). She has since appeared in other films including
Sin City (2005) and
My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) and, from 2011 to 2015, starred in the television series
Hart of Dixie . In 2016, she had the lead role in
The Mistletoe Promise , a
Hallmark movie. She also voiced the role of Aurra Sing on
Star Wars: The Clone Wars . (
