Excerpt from Nebraskans, 1854-1904 When we reflect that in 1854, Nebraska was a wilderness or prairie and plain, and that 50 years has seen it transformed into a great commonwealth, teeming with life and industry, and counted one of the foremost of the sisterhood of states, it seems fitting and in keeping with the occasion of this, its golden anniversary, to collect together the portraits of the men who have been so closely identified with the production of this glorious result.

My Omaha Obsession takes the reader on an idiosyncratic tour through some of Omaha’s neighborhoods, buildings, architecture, and people, celebrating the city’s unusual history. Rather than covering the city’s best-known sites, Miss Cassette is irresistibly drawn to strange little buildings and glorious large homes that don’t exist anymore as well as to stories of Harkert’s Holsum Hamburgers and the Twenties Club. Piecing together the records of buildings and homes and everything interesting that came after, Miss Cassette shares her observations of the property and its significance to Omaha. She scrutinizes land deeds, insurance maps, tax records, and old newspaper articles to uncover a property’s singular story. Through conversations with fellow detectives and history enthusiasts, she guides readers along her path of hunches, personal interests, mishaps, and more. As a longtime resident of Omaha, Miss Cassette is informed by memories of her youth combined with an enduring curiosity about the city’s offbeat relics and remains. Part memoir and part research guide with a healthy dose of colorful wandering, My Omaha Obsession celebrates the historic built environment and searches for the people who shaped early Omaha.

Excerpt from A History of Nebraska Methodism, First Half-Century, 1854-1904 State Methodist Historical Society, in 1902, the author was requested to prepare such a history. As correspond ing secretary of the society I had already spent more than a year collecting material and had made a study of this material for a sketch of our history for the J. Sterling Morton History of Nebraska, now being published. I accepted the task with fear and trembling, having even then some conception of its magnitude and a'keen sense of inadequacy, but with a conviction that some one ought at once to perform that service. I have found the undertaking much larger and' the difficulties greater than I anticipated. I can only say that for three years, with much pleasure and profit, I have wrought diligently at the task. That the result is satisfactory to myself, or will be above just criticism by others, I do not claim. But such as it is, I send it forth on its mission, praying that God may use it for good notwithstanding its defects.
