Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public's perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars' harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation's four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plainsdemonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public's perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plainsprovides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy. "--

Download or read book A Nebraska Portfolio written by Robert Hanna and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For eighteen months Robert Hanna put his architectural career aside to drive his faithful Dodge Aspen back and forth across Nebraska. He logged fifteen thousand through all seasons and weather. He ducked tornadoes and braved snowstorms to draw barns, bridges, depots, mills, storefronts, mansions, courthouses, churches, theaters, bandstands, ballparks, and other monuments to the human proclivity for building. "My book of drawings and watercolors is a celebration of spaces - little spaces, really. Set down a towering county courthouse in the middle of a wide Nebraska horizon, and even government looks mighty small, " writes Hanna. "I have drawn and painted these pictures from inside the world of the buildings and places they represent." This record of an appreciative journey from Santee to Bayard, from Otoe County to Sioux County, from Carhenge at Alliance to the train station at Weeping Water, from Maskell's one-room city hall to the state capitol, from Omaha cityscapes to Sandhills landscapes, from North Platte to West Point and points in between is a work to savor and treasure. Born in Ewing, Nebraska, Robert Hanna holds a degree in architecture from the University of Nebraska and has maintained an architectural practice in Lincoln since 1968. He is a recipient of the Nebraska Architects Honor Award and the Central States Regional Honor Award for excellence in architectural design. His sketches and watercolors have been widely exhibited. He maintains a studio-gallery in Lincoln and conducts sketching and watercolor workshops throughout the Midwest.

Book excerpt: 2018 Nebraska Book Award 2018 Outstanding Academic Title, selected by Choice Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view.
