My Nebraska: The Good, the Bad, and the Husker

My Nebraska: The Good, the Bad, and the Husker by Welsch, Roger L.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780762742509.

Roger Welsch is a fierce fan of Nebraska . . . not the football team, or even the states famous beef, or its endless sky, or its ferocious and ferociously unpredictable weather. The license plates on his car read CAPT NEB, and he means it. Welsch loves Nebraska as the heart of Americas Great Plains. His perception of the state is not always conventional—occasionally it may even be aggravating and abrasive—but hes thought about this place called "Fly-Over Country" or "The Middle of Nowhere" or "The End of the Earth" a lot. And what he has to say about it makes some interesting reading for natives and outsiders alike, for those who love the place and those who would rather travel through hell than make another drive across Nebraskas endless miles. Welsch has published three dozen books about his other passions, from old tractors to dogs, edible wild plants, and sod houses. Now he writes about his first and real passion: his beloved Nebraska.
