Lost Omaha

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the transformation of Omaha, the book explores the city's historical landmarks that symbolize its industrial and cultural evolution. It highlights significant sites like the Hotel Fontenelle and Peony Park, which vanished due to post-WWII changes and suburban expansion. The narrative delves into the impact of these losses, including the closure of the stockyards in 1999, and examines how such changes reflect broader shifts in urban life. Historian Janet R. Daly Bednarek captures the essence of Omaha's changing landscape through its lost heritage.
