On this day in Nebraska history, (March 2, 1867, to be exact), Turner M. Marquette took the oath of office to become the brand new state of Nebraska’s brand new (and first) U. S. Representative. The congressional session ended the next day, March 3, leaving the new representative with the distinction of having the shortest term of any Nebraska congressman.
