Dean Terrill Story Hunter: Stories from the Southeast Nebraska News Bureau

More about the book

From 1958 to 1988, award-winning roving reporter and photojournalist for the Lincoln Journal and Lincoln Star newspapers, Dean Terrill, traveled the highways and back roads of 14 southeast Nebraska counties and beyond. He worked out of his Fairbury, Nebraska, home and reported on everything from community celebrations, individuals, families, floods, fires, tornadoes, and murders. But his favorite stories to write were human-interest stories about "spunky oldsters" and unique individuals or places he came across on his travels throughout southeast Nebraska. He not only told the stories with feeling and color, but he also captured the subjects' essence with his award-winning photography. This book is a collection of those stories that are a part of southeast Nebraska and Nebraska history and gives the reader a chance to re-read the past.
