商品簡介
Did you know that a Japanese fire balloon exploded over one of Omaha's neighborhoods during the Second World War? Or that the world's largest porch swing (fitting up to 20 adults) is in Hebron, Nebraska? These are just some of the interesting and outlandish locations introduced to readers in a book that proves that Nebraska is far more than a big flat place that gets in the way whenever people try to drive across the continent. Organized by geographic area, this book includes attractions such as the world's largest hand-planted forest, the rather phallic Nebraska capitol building, and what could be the world's largest time capsule. (Sadly, the book does not mention the Wahoo Motel in--you guessed it--Wahoo.) This engaging book will have wide appeal (even outside Nebraska!)
