Review
"This new book by Roger Welsch is one that every red-blooded Nebraskan should own--and, if time and blood pressure permit, should read."
-- William Kloefkorn, Nebraska State Poet
-- William Kloefkorn, Nebraska State Poet
"Roger Welsch, by far the greatest humorist to ever call Dannebrog home, is indeed a Nebraska treasure. He is gifted; he is very funny; Roger is our Will Rogers."
-- Charlie Thone, former Governor of Nebraska

From the Back Cover
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 for natives and outsiders alike, for those who love the place and those who would rather travel through hell than make another drive across Nebraska's endless miles.
After writing three dozen books about his other passions—everything from old tractors to dogs, edible wild plants, and sod houses—Welsch finally turns his attention to his first and real passion: his beloved home state.

Classic Welsch,

This review is from: My Nebraska: The Good, the Bad, and the Husker (Hardcover)
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.
