Looking Back: Nebraska Lessons and Legacies

LOOKING BACK: NEBRASKA LESSONS AND LEGACIES is the tale of Janice J. Marrett's family heritage. When native Nebraskan Marrett began researching her historical family, the thread of tapestry consistently highlighted the goals and rewards of education. She embroiders the details of her family's immigration from Ireland to the United States in the 1700s, their migration to Missouri in the 1800s, and their arrival in Nebraska in 1913. Surviving as tenant farmers through the Civil War, the Great Depression and two World Wars, the family lessons and legacies continue into future family generations.

4COMMENTS ON LOOKING BACK, NEBRASKA LESSONS & LEGAIES  May 03, 2008
Janice Marrett does a fine job of taking us back through a period where the strength and soul of our Nation was being solidified by hard working immagrants who had come to this "Land of Opportunity" She does this by relating to her family and ancestors; but, it could have, and did happen to many of the families across this great country.

I could relate to and found many similarities in my history and family during this period. Janice's blending of her family history into the history of our country made it extra interesting to me. I am about one generation ahead of Janice, but the stories and recollections ran true.

Although this story might seem to relate to the "Older Generation" today, I think the younger generation would enjoy and benefit from this "Walk Through History". This story of a solid Nebraska Family somehow reflects the foundation of what our country is built on. I really enjoyed the trip.
