Echo of Its Time both informs and entertains while using the court's operations as a unique and accessible prism through which to explore broader themes in the history of the state and the nation. The book explores the inner workings of the court through Thomas Munger's personal correspondence, as well as the court's origins and growing influence under the direction of its legendary first judge, Elmer Dundy.Dundy handled many notable and controversial matters and made significant decisions in the field of Native American law, including Standing Bear v. Crook and Elk v. Wilkins. From the turn of the century through 1933, the court's docket reflected the dramatic and rapid changes in state, regional, and national dynamics, including labor disputes and violence, political corruption and Progressive Era reform efforts, conflicts between cattle ranchers and homesteaders, wartime sedition and "slacker" prosecutions, criminal enterprises, and the endless battles between government agents and bootleggers during Prohibition"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 8 $a In the Beginning -- Chapter 2: The Dundy Years -- Chapter 3: Native Americans and Judge Dundy -- Chapter 4: Railroads and the Ermine of the Bench -- Chapter 5: The Politics of Transition, 1896-1897 -- Chapter 6: The "One Munger" Court: 1897-1907 -- Chapter 7: The "Cattle Barons" Cases: Land Fraud, Illegal Fencing, and a Six-Hour Jail Sentence -- Chapter 8: The "Two Munger" Court, 1907-1915 -- Chapter 9: The Early Munger/Woodrough Years, 1916-1923 -- Chapter 10: Prohibition, a Divided Court, and the Dennison Trial. 610 10 $a United States. $b District Court (Nebraska) $x History $y 19th century. 610 10 $a United States. $b District Court (Nebraska) $x History $y 20th century. 610 17 $a United States. $b District Court (Nebraska) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00664172 650 0 $a District courts $z Nebraska $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a District courts $z Nebraska $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW / Legal History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW / Courts. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a District courts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895633 651 7 $a Nebraska. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208998 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Scherer, Mark R., $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B5469D4462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
