roadside history of nebraska, Feb 13 2000
By Searcher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roadside History of Nebraska (Hardcover)
I began this book with interest but that changed quickly as I realized I could not trust the information it contained. We live on the site of the Print Olive ranch mentioned in the book. Candy Moulton states it is beside the Dismal river, which it is not. The Dismal is over 65 miles away. The old Print Olive ranch is on the South Loup River. I look out my window at it daily. If Ms. Moulton could not even check the river's name on a map, how can we trust the information she includes which is unverifiable. Very disappointing!

Good historical guide, May 21 2006
By Bomojaz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roadside History of Nebraska (Hardcover)
This is Nebraska's entry in the Roadside History series of state historical guides mainly designed for travelers in each state, written by Candy Moulton. The book is divided into five sections: Lewis and Clark Country (NE part of the state), River Country (SE part of the state), Oregon Trail Country, Sandhills Country, and Panhandle Country. Focusing on major highways that traverse each section, the book gives a thorough history of towns, cities, historical sites, and the people who inhabited them all, some famous, some infamous. It's a great book for travelers in the state, and between the specific roads traversed and the comprehensive index, ease of use couldn't be improved upon. Armchair travelers or anyone just interested in learning about Nebraska's past will also benefit from the book. It contains numerous photos and a detailed chronology of Nebraska history as well. One thing it, or any of the books in this series, doesn't contain is information about tourist attractions, lodging, restaurants, etc. But it's loaded with historical information and is an essential work for anyone interested in Nebraska's past.
