This is one great book.
I'm not much for history as it is taught in our schools, but this book is great. It is a perfect blend of history, present day (in the form of the author's trip), and thoughts and stories from the author's personal life.

I recommend this tome to anyone that likes travel stories. Especially if you dont know, or want to know more about, the Cheyenne Exodus. Expensive, but worth the money.

HISTORY COMES ALIVE ON THIS FANTASTIC ADVENTURE
This is a magical walk through a dark time in American History...Alan's own experiences are so materfully intertwined with history on this voyage, the past truly comes alive as you feel every step and face every fear. With each step, with every encounter along the way, you can feel the ghosts of the Cheyenne people walking in your own shadow. Make no mistake, HOLDING STONE HANDS is a Masterpiece...you'll feel the pain of endless walking, the anger for what the Cheyenne people were forced to endure, and the sorrow for the pointless death as they tried to make their way to the only land they would ever call home.

In the spirit of Edward Abbey
This is a story of heartache and strength, of hope and struggle...it is the story of a man's love of the land and a people's fight to keep their homeland. Boye is a gifted and talented writer whose words flow as he leads us from page to page, back into the past and then gently into the present. He is a writer that truly cares about his story and the people that inhabit it. He opens his heart and the words come tumbling out. A wonderful MUST READ for all nature lovers and history buffs.

A must read if you live in Lincoln,NE.
I loved the book. Many of the hauntings in the book I have known about from stories or can identify the area and even the exact location. My hopes are for more about hauntings in the Lincoln area to come forth. It is interesting to see if what I have been told over the years match the ones in the book. Many more stories about other hauntings in Lincoln need to be told. Keep writing!

Don't read this in the dark!
Excellent spook book -- even for those not easily spooked! Definitely recommend it!

A Guide to the Ghosts of Lincoln
Outstanding writing and research. The author's descriptions were very thrilling and life-like. So real that I sometimes got chills and the hair on the back of my neck would stand up. Once in a while I even heard the "phantom footsteps, and doors opening and closing by themselves." I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the paranormal.

Excellent Guidebook - Very Entertaining For Weekend Drives
This is an authoritative guide to the "roads less traveled" in Nebraska. I loved it. I have an old worn out copy. I used it on weekends to travel the backroads to explore...and find those quaint little sites no one else goes to. I wish there was a companion guide for each of the other States. Excellent guidebook...inspired by Mrs Lamb...a true Nebraskan. Go Big Red!
