I s'pose I could do one for Canadian provinces and different countries, but I'm not really a jet-setter.
Here's why Nebraska, by the way: sod houses. And all that that implies. Moving west to get away and get rich. Land rushes. Cold winters. What were these people moving away from that made this look like a better alternative? Or were they deluded? And, if deluded, what were their thoughts two years later? ("This was a
huge mistake. I wonder if I can move back in w/Mom & Pop. No, this is better than
that.")
No doubt you can research all this online w/out actually needing to travel to Nebraska, but wouldn't you like to stand on a plain and feel the wind (mmmm.... prairie schooners....) and cast your mind back?
