Please check out my new website that gives you all you need to know about my/our two books.

The most recent release is "Three Yards Away" on the 1983 Nebraska football team. It is the first book on this great and historic team. I interviewed Coach Tom Osborne and 18 players from the 1983 team when I researched the book. You will hear from Mike Rozier, Dean Steinkuhler, Tom Rathman and 15 other players who may not be household names but were great players and are great people. These men are winners on and off the field.

Our first book was "Robert F. Kennedy: The Road Not Taken From Nebraska to the White House," that I co-authored with my daughter, Dr. Laura J. Crawford. It is the first and only book on the crucial 1968 Nebraska primary in which Kennedy prevailed over Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy. This work covers a largely forgotten chapter in Kennedy's life and has 5 five star reviews on Amazon.

My/our approach as historians is to explore important but neglected chapters in Nebraska history. We go where other authors have never gone before.

Born on this day in 1884, Eleanor Roosevelt is remembered at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial for her decades of public service. Eleanor served as First Lady during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency. After his death, she continued her work in public life and served as the first United States delegate to the United Nations.

At the FDR Memorial, a bronze statue of Eleanor stands in an alcove overlooking the Tidal Basin. Her statue is one of several features throughout the memorial that tell the story of the Roosevelt era and the people who shaped it.
