About this ebook

Like Claude Wheeler in Willa Cather's novel. One of Ours, Connor William Conroy faces diminished expectations when bank closings frustrate his dream of earning a college degree. Like Wheeler, the Nebraska farm boy serves his need to make a difference by taking part in his generation's war. Filled with flashbacks of his travels living off the lands and letters to keep him tethered to his family, Connor's story spans two of America's most disruptive decades in which Connor finds his cherished expectations thwarted. Though this book is set during a war and an economic disaster, it's truly a book about family.

As a public information officer for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, she wrote numerous articles for NEBRASKAland magazine, including copy for photo essays and historical articles. She also gained intimate knowledge of the landscape that often appears as a character/catalyst in her work.Ms. Colburn has spent several years gathering oral family histories and biographies, including a 100-year memoir of the Lincoln newspaper publishing family, with an emphasis on their use of production technology. During a stint with the University of Nebraska’s Research and Extension Center as a communication specialist, she focused some of her research efforts on the history of a farm family in western Nebraska that amassed 10,000 acres of land over several generations in drought-prone high plains region. As a communications specialist for a Lutheran social ministry organization, she spent five years telling the stories of people with developmental disabilities. Those efforts helped her learn about the glue that holds families and communities together and the wedges that drive them apart.
