The opening of the handbook provides an overview of Scotts Bluff's historical significance, illustrating its role as a prominent feature for those journeying across the Great Plains. It chronicles early exploration efforts in the area, from the Spaniards in the 16th century to the fur traders in the early 19th century, and introduces Hiram Scott, the fur trader after whom the bluff is named.
