From the PREFACE. Finding that there was nothing in the form of writing and illustrations which I might use to keep constantly before my pupils while teaching them how to repair and make shoes, I set to work compiling a set of lessons which would meet this immediate need. The lessons on the following pages are planned so as to take one from the very first steps of caring for a shop and making waxed ends to the place where he is ready to make a shoe. Upon each step illustrated herein, a great deal more might be said. My main object, however, is to put, in a clear, compact way, the essential facts. This book is dedicated to the thousands of young men who are anxious to do common things in uncommon ways.

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.
