Learn about Nebraska’s history of lawlessness during the early years of statehood, through original narrative poetry and music (guitars and vocals). Discover Nebraska’s obscure, colorful, complex characters and situations of the Western Movement from a sister duo who grew up along “Nebraska’s Outlaw Trail Scenic Byway Highway 12.” These Nebraska Humanities presenters have incorporated their rural experience and research to provide an educational yet entertaining look at Doc Middleton (Nebraska’s Robin Hood), Kid Wade, outlaw wives, and the situation of “frontier law:” rustlers vs. vigilantes.
