My Nebraska

“Read this book and no one gets hurt.”—Bob Kerrey, former Nebraska governor and senator

“This new book by Roger Welsch is one that every red-blooded Nebraskan should own—and, if time and blood pressure permit, should read. It is vintage Welsch—at times funny, at times sad, at times endearingly pathetic. It covers an impressive range of subjects—politics, religion, education, canines, geology, fashion, tractors, s-e-x (read between the lines). Welsch is indeed Captain Nebraska, with or without a cape. He is the state’s consummate storyteller. He is larger than life, larger even than the overalls that strive to contain him, and My Nebraska, which chronicles the perceptions and attitudes and subtle biases of an irascible but lovable geezer, is no doubt his penultimate achievement.”—William Kloefkorn, Nebraska State Poet

“While Roger and I may not have the same perspective on ‘some things,’ we are totally in agreement when it comes to the beauty of the state and its people. His view is unique and refreshing.”—Kay Orr, former governor of Nebraska

“Roger Welsch, by far the greatest humorist to ever call Dannebrog home, is indeed a Nebraska treasure. He is gifted; he is very funny; Roger is our Will Rogers.”—Charlie Thone, former governor of Nebraska
