Nebraska author Mari Sandoz remarked that most people see Nebraska
as "that long flat state that sets between me and any place I want
to go." If so, they're missing plenty, as this entertaining volume
makes abundantly clear. Susan A. Wunder and John R. Wunder's new,
expanded, and updated edition of Donald R. Hickey's classic account
of defining Nebraska moments showcases triumph, tragedy, comedy,
and accomplishments that could have happened nowhere else and that
reveal the rich culture and history under the state's deceptively
quiet surface. There are moments that shine--surviving the Oregon
and Mormon trails; completing the Union Pacific Railroad; and
winning national football championships, Nobel and Pulitzer prizes,
and presidential nominations. There are also moments of darkness
such as the murders of Crazy Horse, Malcolm X, and Brandon Teena;
the lynchings of Will Brown and Juan Gonzalez; and the Blizzard of
1888. Together they evoke a dramatic history populated with the
likes of Pedro Villasur, Willa Cather, and William Jennings Bryan.
This new edition also mines Nebraska's most recent history, adding
to the ever-changing, ever-intriguing picture of this Great Plains
state.
