BRING EM BACK ALIVE SID (Charles Sidney Williams, Sr.) is a
historical biography of the pioneer homesteader, rancher, horseman,
and sheriff. Sid s life spanned almost the entire post Civil
War-pre World War II time period, but his story here is concerned
primarily with the law enforcement problems of northwest Nebraska
during the prohibition and depression eras. Law enforcement of
northwest Nebraska during this time reveals the cultural aspects
and the trials and tribulations of the people who homesteaded and
established homes, farms, and ranches. Drought and low commodity
prices resulted in many foreclosures and hardships. Some land
owners attempted to ameliorate their poor conditions by the illegal
manufacture of stills and the production of moonshine liquor. A few
saw an opportunity to make a great deal of money. The poor economic
times finally ended with the advent of World War II.
