A guide to Nebraska, concerns common people and the Great Plains. The argument of this book is that, in the colliding of cultures in the plains, many hoops were fractures-those of the Indian cultures, of the Mexican and Southwestern peoples, and of the European immigrant groups who came after 1860. The various essays and the introduction argue that the vision of these people as well as that of thousands of less well known community builders, artists, workers and musicians constitute the humane past of our various ethnic groups; these visions may also constitute our hope for a future in a period of overcentralization, short fossil fuels, and loss of identity.
