Only true Cornhuskers could capture the essence of these and other authentic Nebraska phenomena, and Rick Yoder and David Harding do their home state proud.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

De la contraportada

Whether you're a born-and-raised Nebraskan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Nebraska Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Rick Yoder and David Harding take you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Cornhusker State. Go mooclear with two animal husbandry students who, in 1963, participated in the first cattle fallout-shelter survival test--by spending two weeks in close quarters with thirty-five cows . . . and one bull. Be wowed by the Chickendale Dancers at the annual Wayne Chicken Show--whose attractions also includea "cluck-off" competition. Visit the Avoca Quack-Off--when more than 1,000 people descend on Avoca (pop. 270) in mid-winter to drink beer and howl at the ducks racing across a flooded, frozen tennis court. (You can rent a bird for $5.)
