SUMMARY:Visiting Author - Inside Nebraska Courthouses - Dean Settle
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome local art collector\, historian\, and former gallery owner\, Dean Settle to Francie & Finch Bookshop on Saturday\, December 14th at 4:30! His new book “Inside Nebraska Courthouses” explores the cultural and architectural legacy of Nebraska’s 93 courthouses.\nABOUT THE BOOK:\nThis book is more than just a history—it’s a celebration of Nebraska’s cultural and architectural legacy. Through short narratives\, photographs\, and illustrations specific to the state’s 93 counties\, it offers a unique window into the landmarks that define the state. A must-have for anyone who appreciates regional history\, architecture\, or the stories that shape a place. \nEach of Nebraska’s 93 courthouses tells a unique story\, embodying the values\, challenges and triumphs of the communities they serve. This book honors those stories and illustrates why preserving these historic structures is essential for future generations. This collection also celebrates the remarkable journey of Dean B. Settle and his late wife\, Harriet R. Grossbart\, who traveled Nebraska to visit each courthouse. Their adventure reflects a deep passion for history\, community and the enduring significance of these civic spaces. May these pages inspire a renewed appreciation for the architectural and historical treasures found in every corner of Nebraska. – Candace Meredith\, deputy director\, Nebraska Association of County Officials. \nABOUT THE AUTHORS:\nDean B. Settle – Dean and his late wife\, Harriet\, were devoted partners in both life and work. Originally from Iowa\, Dean earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Northern Iowa and pursued postgraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin and DePaul University. Over a distinguished 51-year career in behavioral health\, Dean worked across Iowa\, Kansas and California before moving to Lincoln\, Nebraska\, in 1989. He managed extensive systems of care\, including hospitals and clinics at state and county levels\, and was actively involved in state and national rehabilitation associations. For 37 years\, he served as a surveyor for the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). A passionate art collector and former gallery owner\, Dean continues to reside in Lincoln\, where he is actively involved in Rotary Club #14 and other nonprofit organizations. His research for this book gave him the opportunity to reconnect with Nebraska’s county officials and delve into the state’s rich architectural heritage. \nHarriet R. Grossbart – Born in New York and raised in South Miami\, Harriet graduated from the University of Florida before relocating to Nebraska in 1972 to work for Lancaster County. Her career was dedicated to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities\, serving as a teacher\, administrator and advocate. After retiring\, Harriet co-founded a significant payee service company and played a key role in developing a foundation that manages special needs trusts. She also wrote legislation and manuals and contributed to professional journals. Harriet was an avid domestic and international traveler who delighted in exploring small towns and unwinding in the Sand Hills in her adopted home state. She lost a long battle with cancer in November 2023\, leaving a legacy of advocacy and a final wish for her husband of 35 years to complete their passion project. \nBook details:\n192 pages\, hardcover\n$39.95 + shipping and handling*\nEdited by Chris Christen\nDesigned by Christine Zueck-Watkins

SUMMARY:Book Launch - Dennis P. Crawford & Dr. Laura J. Crawford - Robert F. Kennedy: The Road Not Taken From Nebraska to the White House
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, December 18th at 5:30 as we welcome authors\, Dennis P. Crawford and Dr. Laura J. Crawford.  Their new book “Robert F. Kennedy: The Road Not Taken From Nebraska to the White House” reflects on the campaign trail that brought Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy to Nebraska.\nTo Order a Copy of the Book call Francie & Finch Bookshop at 402-781-0459\nAbout the Book:\nThe Nebraska Democratic primary mattered in 1968. Because only fifteen states held primaries\, Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy made the state a high priority. Before the reforms of the 1970s\, most delegates to the national convention were selected in conventions and caucuses in which party leaders controlled the outcome. The candidates campaigned extensively in Nebraska to prove to the party bosses that they could carry farm states in the general election. The Kennedy and McCarthy campaigns began to organize in Nebraska in early 1968. Both candidates campaigned hard in Nebraska. McCarthy literally worked himself into a state of exhaustion. Nebraska brought out the best in Kennedy\, and he brought out the best in Nebraska voters. He gave a hydrocephalic baby love at the Beatrice State Home and scolded draft-dodging students at Creighton University. Kennedy was genuinely concerned about the future of a school-age Black girl he met in north Omaha. Kennedy defeated McCarthy by a decisive 52 percent to 31 percent margin. This big win put Kennedy on the path to the Democratic nomination and the White House. Read the book to learn more this history. \nAbout the Authors:\nDennis P. Crawford was the Democratic nominee for the U.S. House of Representative in 2014. A lifelong resident of Lincoln\, Nebraska\, Dennis earned his undergraduate degree in political science at Creighton University in 1982 and his law degree at the Catholic University of America in 1985. He returned to his hometown after he graduated from law school and practiced law in the Nebraska courts between 1986–2023. Dennis was a trial lawyer who represented people who were injured in accidents. Crawford’s run for Congress was emblematic of his lifetime of interest in government and politics.
