Strong timely piece,

This review is from: The Gate City: A History of Omaha (Enlarged Edition) (Paperback)
This history offers an in-depth look at a midwestern city that is growing in both scale and importance. It does so in a very approachable manner, and it does so without boring readers with unnecessary specificity.
As a newer Nebraskan and someone who is even newer to Omaha, I very much appreciated having a text to fall back upon as a means of learning about Nebraska's largest city. It was a worthwhile read for anyone interested in how Omaha came to be and a worthwhile companion for anyone interested in the urban midwest.

As a born-and-raised Omahan, I'm biased.. but this book is great. As some of the reviews mention, it does a great job of tying local events in Omaha's history into the national goings-on of the time.This is a wonderful book about the incredible history of Omaha. |
