Once upon a Town: The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen Bob Greene 
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars Rank: 71036 (Ironwood, MI) August 5, 2002 - 5.0/5 stars I lived in Holbrook, Nebraska from 1963 - 1973 and had never heard of the Canteen in North Platte. Also being a WW II buff, this book ingtrigued me. Reading through it I could visualize all of the small towns and areas that were mentioned where hard-working farm folks pitched in to keep the Canteen stocked with food and goodwill. My memories of the Nebraska folks are full of warm, welcoming, caring, neighborly people who would do most anything they could for you. This book surely shows the spirit of the people of Nebraska, which I am certain still prevails today. I did read the name of "Holbrook" in one of the book's chapters, and now I wonder about the "old folks" I knew back in the days I lived there -- did they participate in helping keep the Canteen going? I imagine they did, knowing how they would want to help in times of need. I've heard a lot of people complain about traveling through
Nebraska because it's a boring ride -- they think there is no scenery to
speak of. But within those wide open spaces and rolling hills and canyons
there are folks with hearts of gold, and Bob Greene helped us see some of
that.
