Book excerpt: Nestled in the Loess HIlls, Council Bluffs grew from a frontier settlement of wickiups and log cabins. The outpost boomed as a gateway to the West when gold was discovered in California in 1849. The Pacific House and the Ogden House became landmark hotels for the transient population. Meanwhile, residents thrived and cultivated a bustling city with the Masonic Hall, Dohany's Opera House and the Merriam block. None of these once iconic buildings remains today. Author S. M. Senden explores the perpetual rebirth of Council Bluffs through its most important buildings and relates a still unfolding story. -- from the publisher.
