Battlefields of Nebraska

by Thomas D. Phillips

Today, the state of Nebraska is as peaceful a place as one is likely to find in America. But that wasn't always the case. Because of its geographic location near the center of the continent and astride the most convenient east-west routes, Nebraska has been the scene of some of the most significant clashes in Western history. As Tom Phillips traveled to Nebraska's battle sites and researched the fascinating events associated with them, he became aware that the state possesses a long, rich, and important military history that is vivid and stirring but too often only dimly remembered. His book is designed to help people remember.

Book does a brief history of the battles of nebraska I wish there was more information, but I doubt there was that much information about plains battles.

A good guide if you are out in western nebraska.
