Description
From the Introduction
People. Living, breathing, loving, erring people. Their blood was red and their pulse was strong. They had almost nothing but hoped for much. That’s what we’re concerned with here. Both Nebraska and the Nebraska State Education Association have marked their first one hundred years. This is history. But to us, the teachers, it is the story of very real people. Without footnotes, without annotation. “What was it like—going to school in pioneer Nebraska?” This was our only route marker as we traveled through that history. This “history” puts you in the back of the class by the water pail, up front by the crude chalk board and backside-on to the not-so-glowing stove. Not a bad place to spend some time, really. Enjoy your visit. – Barc Bayley, Director, NSEA Publications.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more (if you will allow me to adjust the invoice before you pay) so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
