Leaving behind abject poverty, she had bravely set out for Nebraska, where she would meet and marry an industrious Scotsman, William Kinnear. They put down roots in the heart of South Omaha's booming Stockyards. In this family memoir, author David J. Krajicek uses interviews and American and European records to explore the lives of his maternal ancestors, weaving rich stories about his colorful kin and the gritty places they lived, including South Omaha's smudgy meatpacking district and the greasy railyards across the Missouri River in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where his people inhabited shacks on the wrong side of the tracks. As with his earlier memoir, \u003ci\u003eDear Mama\u003c\/i\u003e, Krajicek uses a discerning eye and vivid storytelling to breathe life into his family's triumphs, tragedies, and quirks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14136526\"\u003eKaren Gutliph Graves\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11950118\"\u003eDavid J.
