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

By Roger Welsch

Book Overview

Roger Welsch is a fierce fan of Nebraska--not just the football team, or the state's famous beef, or its endless sky, or its ferocious and ferociously unpredictable weather, but the whole thing. His license plate says CAPT NEB, and he means it. Welsch loves Nebraska as the heart of America's Great Plains. His perception of the state is not always conventional--occasionally it's even abrasive--but he's thought a lot about this place some call "Fly-Over Country" or "The Middle of Nowhere" or even "The End of the Earth." And what he has to say about it makes interesting reading not just for natives but certainly also for outsiders, for those who love the place and those who would rather travel through hell than make another drive across Nebraska's endless miles.

Customer Reviews

Classic Welsch

From the man who brought us Postcards from Nebraska on the Sunday Morning Show (CBS), this is a humorous look at the way Nebraskans live and see themselves. Most likely to entertain those who have lived in the state, but definitely capable of reaching out to those who have passed through, flown over or just heard of the place. Roger's storytelling is always good for a few laughs - this is a book full of his stories. Highly recommended to anyone who needs a chuckle as well anyone who would like an honest, clean, fun book.
