The Complete Roadside Guide to Nebraska cover

The second edition of The Complete Roadside Guide to Nebraska represents a major enlargement and revision of the first edition, making this the most comprehensive guide to the state ever written. The book covers over twelve thousand miles in all ninety-three counties of the “state where the West begins.” Here readers can become acquainted with numerous folklore tales and discover the locations of thousands of historical sites, burials, pioneer roads, museums, and other wonders of the Cornhusker State.

“If you want to stop and smell the goldenrod in Nebraska, turn to Alan Boye: He should be able to tell you where it grows, why it is there and who planted it. . . . [The Complete Roadside Guide to Nebraska is] a mile-by-mile guide to the sights, history and oddities to be found or learned about along almost every road in Nebraska.”—Gerald Wade, Omaha World-Herald
“If there’s a book that captures the quirky spirit of the original Federal Writers Project guide, this is it. . . . Throughout the book, the author’s opinions and reflections add charm to the entries. . . . Stories, trivia, opinions, back road directions – Boye is an engaging travel companion. He’ll charm you into looking closer at Nebraska.”—Nebraska Life
