{"product_id":"north-of-the-platte-south-bryan-l-jones-9781622882250","title":"North of the Platte, South of the Niobrara: A Little Further Into the Nebraska Sand Hills","description":"Filled with adventurous writing, sharp scrutiny, meticulous and audacious use of language, \u003ci\u003eNorth of the Platte, South of the Niobrara: A Little Further into the Nebraska Sand Hills\u003c\/i\u003e winds around its subjects the way the rivers and creeks of the Great Plains twist around humps of prairie grass, ranches and rock outcroppings. The ambitious goal of author Bryan Jones was to create a fresh understanding of the Nebraska Sand Hills from the inside. Surely he has done that, and more. He reflects with almost unbearable poignancy on war and its consequences, and with fierce advocacy on two beloved Nebraska poets. He brings humor and occasional cynicism to reflections about \"the metaphysical and metaphorical aspects\" of the Sand Hills, Ted Turner and other newcomers, the Sandoz family and other old-timers and a considerable chunk of Western history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryan L.
