Book Synopsis My Omaha Obsession by : Miss Cassette
Download or read book My Omaha Obsession written by Miss Cassette and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Busting Bad Guys written by Mark Langan and published by Mtl838 LLC. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 13 seconds of pure terror in a shootout with a drug dealer... Real crime. Real-life cop stories. Sergeant Mark Langan relives his front-row seat working the seamier side of crime during his decorated twenty-six-year career from youngest rookie in 1978 to narcotics sergeant on the Omaha Police force. Langan caught bold burglars who silently entered homes to get thrills off of touching sleeping victims. He hit bookie joints in smoke-filled bars, squeezed snitches for information, and arrested prostitutes and their everyday "Johns" in dangerous downtown alleys. Langan worked his way up the ranks to command undercover narcotics operations in the 1980s when sinister LA gangbangers invaded Omaha and claimed neighborhoods to sell crack. In his celebrated career, Langan felt the gut-wrenching pain of innocent children caught inside the wicked world of drugs and crime, their "safe" worlds shattered when the battering ram knocked down their doors-their cries haunt him every day. And two players from his past reemerge in startling ways. Busting Bad Guys delivers a graphic and authentic look at solid policing on the streets of America's heartland and takes readers inside the high-adrenaline, top-secret investigations to develop innovative tactics to outsmart the criminals. Steven Eskew, book reviewer and writer in New York City, says "Langan relates his many adventures with meat and potatoes precision, illustrating a cop's life with detailed imagery but without sensationalizing the excitement. He balances his memoir by sharing his years-later encounter with "One-Eyed Jack's" daughter, (the drug dealer that was killed during a shoot out at the beginning of the book), and an update on a childhood playmate who had descended into prostitution. The book's sheer readability and intriguing subject matter makes you sorry to find yourself on the final page."
Book Synopsis #OmahaBlackHistory by : Adam Fletcher Sasse
Download or read book #OmahaBlackHistory written by Adam Fletcher Sasse and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on historical Black experiences in Omaha extending from 1804 to 2000. It offers hundreds of vignettes about the people, places, events, organizations, and other historical aspects that can give readers more complete picture of the city's history, and Midwestern American history in general. Offering a unique viewpoint on the effects of racism, readers can also get a better sense of Black freedom struggle in Omaha and the vital role played by African Americans in Omaha towards achieving justice and maintaining freedom. This book shows how Omaha owes it's Black citizens a debt of gratitude for centuries of literally building the city from the ground up. Featuring seven chapters covering quarter-century spans of the city's history, #OmahaBlackHistory dives deep into notable people from Omaha's African American community, including politicians, ministers, businesspeople, community leaders, and others. Many of these stories have been lost to time, unaccounted for in other history books and largely neglected by Omaha historians. Various events are identified and detailed, including fairs, festivals, and celebrations; lynchings, murders, and riots; and weddings, birthdays, and funerals. Forgotten yet important places are uncovered, and lost addresses are revealed. Perhaps most vital is the way the book illustrates the connectivity between all of these elements and several others, and how the rest of the city has reacted to white supremacy, racism, and other issues central to Black history in Omaha. This book is for people who are yearning for the real history of Omaha, Nebraska. It is not glossy, it does not cover general Omaha history, and it does not contextualize a lot of what happened in the nearly 200 years included. However, it offers a uniquely substantial viewpoint that isn't covered otherwise. Author Adam Fletcher Sasse is an independent historian whose other writing includes North Omaha History Volumes 1, 2, and 3; Drawing North Omaha; and more than 500 articles on NorthOmahaHistory.com.
Book Synopsis The Gate City by : Lawrence Harold Larsen
Download or read book The Gate City written by Lawrence Harold Larsen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lawrence Larsen and his wife Barbara Cottrell have written a marvelous urban biography. They have done what other historians often fail to do--relate local happenings to the larger regional and national picture. And Larsen and Cottrell have skillfully used sophisticated historical works and concepts, incorporating them in an understandable fashion. Throughout this book the authors write in a delightful manner; they make you want to visit Omaha!"--North Dakota History. "[The authors] organize their splendid urban biography around a limited number of events of national magnitude. The husband-wife team take as their story's major units the building of the transcontinental railroad, the penetration of the Great Plains by homesteaders, the establishment of the meat packing industry, and the creation of an elaborate national defense system. They fill in their story with intriguing descriptions of the push-and-pull factors that brought diverse ethnic groups to Omaha in the years since 1854--the years when town promoters first settled at the Missouri River ferry landing in the newly established Nebraska territory. Because their narrative is so well organized, their treatment of political, social, and cultural affairs is clear and cohesive, while their discussion of urban unrest, vice, and crime remains tightly linked to the general outlines of their lively portrait of Omaha's history."--Business History Review. Lawrence H. Larsen is a professor of history at the University of Missouri?Kansas City. He is the author of The Urban South: A History (1990), Federal Justice in Western Missouri: The Judges, the Cases, the Times (1994), and other books. Barbara J. Cottrell is a historian with the National Archives?Central Plains Region. Harl A. Dalstrom is a professor of history at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

Book Synopsis The Investigator by : Vladimír Dzuro
Download or read book The Investigator written by Vladimír Dzuro and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war that broke out in the former Yugoslavia at the end of the twentieth century unleashed unspeakable acts of violence committed against defenseless civilians, including a grizzly mass murder at an Ovčara pig farm in 1991. An international tribunal was set up to try the perpetrators of crimes such as this, and one of the accused was Slavko Dokmanović, who at the time was the mayor of a local town. Vladimír Dzuro, a criminal detective from Prague, was one of the investigators charged with discovering what happened on that horrific night at Ovčara. The story Dzuro presents here, drawn from his daily notes, is devastating. It was a time of brutal torture, random killings, and the disappearance of innocent people. Dzuro provides a gripping account of how he and a handful of other investigators picked up the barest of leads that eventually led them to the gravesite where they exhumed the bodies. They were able to track down Dokmanović, only to find that taking him into custody was a different story altogether. The politics that led to the war hindered justice once it ended. Without any thoughts of risk to their own personal safety, Dzuro and his colleagues were determined to bring Dokmanović to justice. In addition to the story of the pursuit and arrest of Dokmanović, The Investigator provides a realistic picture of the war crime investigations that led to the successful prosecution of a number of war criminals.
