Book Synopsis
Arising in two separate streams high in the Rockies and flowing east across the plains to meet the Missouri near Omaha, Nebraska, the Platte River is a microcosm of the geologic, plant, animal, and human worlds. This work focuses on the central role the Platte has played in shaping Nebraska and its heritage, both human and natural.
