In 1876 an exhibition was organized in Philadelphia to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of gaining of independence by the United States. Countries from all over the world were invited to participate. Polish correspondents (Sygurd Wiśniowski, Jan Karłowicz, Feliks Fryze, Jordan Delikowski, J. F. Krajewski) went to Philadelphia to report on their impressions of visiting the exhibition halls. They were also to find and evaluate objects brought form the Polish territories presented in the sectors reserved for the partition zones countries. The aim of this article is to find out how the Warsaw press correspondents characterized exhibits coming from the Polish territories and which objects evoked the greatest interest. The correspondents wrote primarily about: the display of Żyrardów factory and sugar factories form the Kingdom of Poland, the harvester from Lilpop, Rau and Loewenstein factory, the Krall and Seidler piano, Jakub Pik’s scientific tools and paintings by Polish artists. About 70 exhibitors from the Kingdom of Poland participated in the Philadelphia exhibition (450 from the whole territory of the Tsardom of Russia). Although only some of potential exhibitors came to Philadelphia, those who managed to present their goods were noticed and highly appreciated. It is worth mentioning that 35 medals were awarded to exhibitors of goods from Polishterritories.

American West offered numerous natural resources, not only gold, silver or other valuable metals, but above others, limitless areas of fertile land. That is why, there was a conviction that everybody could acquire farmland – almost for free. In this article I undertake to answer the question if Warsaw press of the second half of the XIX century accurately informed its readers about the colonization of the American Far West, and if so, whether and why there was an interest in the management of such great areas of prairie. Sygurd Wisniowski was the one who had the greatest input into writing for Warsaw press about the management of the Great Plains, as he decided to buya plot in Minnesota. In his reports sent to “Tygodnik Mod i Nowosci”, he tried to show the life of an average American pioneer. He warned all those dreaming about their own piece of land against hasty decisions concerning emigration to the West, emphasizing that each settler had to have his own fund and be aware of the difficulties awaiting him – both during the crossing and in America. Colonization of the American West caused a certain interest in Warsaw press, apparently because of the fact that American corn effectively competed with that coming from the Russian Empire, which directly influenced economy of the Kingdom of Poland. The interest was even greater because of other heroes of the Far West – prospectors, Indians, the Chinese and, above others, Mormons.
