About the Project

Mahoney, Professor of History at the University of Nebraska, "The Great Sheedy Murder Case and the Booster Ethos of the Gilded Age in Lincoln, Nebraska," which was published in the Winter 2001 issue of Nebraska History. The construction of this site is supported by the Plains Humanities Alliance, a regional studies center and member of the National Consortium of Regional Study Centers located at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln; the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska; and the Nebraska Humanities Council.
