Meer over het boek

Omaha's historical landscape is intricately tied to its landmarks, which reflect the city's industrial evolution and societal shifts. Key sites like the Hotel Fontenelle and Peony Park illustrate the impact of post-World War II changes, including urban redevelopment and suburban expansion. The closure of the stockyards in 1999 marked the end of a significant era. Historian Janet R. Daly Bednarek explores these lost landmarks, offering insights into their legacies and the transformations that shaped modern Omaha.
