Customer Reviews

Nebraska History at its finest

A great author captures the early frontier days as they were meant to be read, heard and told. In the days before Husker football (before the 1890's), Nebraska was in its infancy. Many towns popped up and law and order was not always to be found. Wayne Lee tells of these tales in the river towns, cattle drive towns and farming communities. This book is more interesting than you can imagine. Also, another great purchase is Wayne Lee's Bad Men and Bad Towns. If you buy these books, you not be unhappy.

Great Nebraska History

Not your typical history book. This one is full of stories about Nebraska starting in the mid 1800's and the stories show just how unlawful and savage this area could be. The pictures are wonderful. As a Nebraskan interested in history on my home state, I found this to be a very interesting book.
