We later lived in a two room sod house that didn't have any floors. One day I remember watching my mother sprinkle water over the dirt floor to settle the dust in the family bedroom. The beds rested on boards so they wouldn't sink into the ground. Table of Contents Acknowledgments v Foreword by Pastor John Russell xi Preface by Rosemarie Keller Skaine xiii Preface by James C.

Professional Reviews
Grand Island Senior High
Students and staff will enjoy reading about the long and rewarding life of this remarkable gentleman from Nebraska. Our students have chosen to write about native Nebraskans for research papers in the past and this will be another choice for them.

Hats off to Warren's daughter and son-in-law for this ambitious project.

The Midwest Book Review
A Man Of The Twentieth Century: Recollections Of Warren V. Keller, A Nebraskan is the personal and engaging autobiographical account of an American who lived from 1900 to 1999, and saw the profound changes that swept across the generations.

Skaine) in a decade-spanning, highly recommended presentation of one man's centenary life experiences.
