(stapled wraps) [nice clean copy, minor handling wear, handwritten note on inside front cover stating receipt of book by original owner in 1999]. (B&W photographs, maps) A compilation of historical information about Denman, Nebraska, at one time a tiny but thriving community situated on an island in the Platte River south of Shelton, Nebraska. The 60-page book packs in a lot of information about families and businesses in the area, as well as numerous photographs (albeit not very well reproduced).

[nice copy, flawless except for bumped top corners]. (B&W photographs) Not quite half the book is devoted to the history of the Lakewood Theater in East Dallas (including chapters on the history of the theater building itself, the history of the 3/8 Robert-Morton Theater Organ installed in the theater, and the Diener/Mills Building), with the remainder given over to information about the Disciples of Trinity (including profiles of many prominent members), the organization responsible for installing the "Star Walk and Fountain" in front of the theater in the late 1980s.
