Daughters of the American Revolution. Nebraska

The name on this book refers to the Nebraska Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a state organization within the larger DAR. Library and catalog records show it was credited as the author of works including Collection of Nebraska Pioneer Reminiscences (1916), a volume devoted to Nebraska frontier and pioneer life.

The group also published or sponsored later historical works such as Nebraska state history of the Daughters of the American Revolution, from June 7, 1894 until February 1, 1929, compiled and edited by Mabel Lindly. That record notes a substantial illustrated volume with biographical sketches of officers, suggesting the society saw itself not only as a patriotic organization but also as a keeper of Nebraska memory.

Because this is a corporate author, not an individual writer, there is no single personal life story to tell here. Its books are best approached as collaborative efforts: collections assembled by Nebraska DAR members to preserve reminiscences, genealogy, local history, and the stories they believed deserved to last.
