Story
In 1968, Nebraska was fresh off its centennial celebrations, and there was a massive push to redefine the state's image for a new generation. This book was part of that movement, moving away from 'dust bowl' imagery toward a vision of a high-tech agricultural powerhouse.
Maker / Origin
Olive Burt was a prolific American author who specialized in making regional history and folklore accessible to young readers.
Condition & Value
The book shows typical signs of age including corner bumping and shelf wear on the spine. There is visible staining or foxing on the back cover, and the auction sticker on the front may leave a mark if not removed carefully. These condition issues are common for former school or library copies and keep the value modest.
