Her passion\, conviction\, dedication and persistence predicted her success.  As for being a woman\, she said\, “Being a woman has only bothered me in climbing trees.” \nThe importance of politics and political connections is magnified at the New York state legislature in Albany as she advocates for a 54 hour work week for women and becomes the voice of the work force. In 1911 she witnesses the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist fire and the death of 146 young women\, and this experience further sparks her goal to implement workplace safety standards. \nThis quote from the Library Journal describes the book as\, “a fictionalized (well researched) portrayal of a phenomenal woman who has largely been lost to history.” URL:https://douglascohistory.org/event/guild-book-club/ LOCATION:General Crook House Museum\, 5730 N 30th St.\, Omaha\, NE\, 68111\, United States CATEGORIES:Guild Book Club END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260719T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260719T153000 DTSTAMP:20260610T213347Z CREATED:20260610T213314Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260610T213347Z UID:10004901-1784467800-1784475000@douglascohistory.org SUMMARY:Silent Sunday: Silent Book Club DESCRIPTION:Silent Sunday: Silent Book Club\nThe first Sunday of every month from 1:30pm unto 3:30pm\nWe’re so excited to offer Silent Sunday at the Crook House Museum\, the first Sunday of every month from 1:30pm-3:30pm. \nWhat to Expect:\nCheck In:\nWe’ll greet you when you walk through the front door.

What began as natural disasters quickly became a complex legal puzzle as the shifting river changed the very boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. \nToday\, Carter Lake remains one of the most unique communities in America. Although surrounded by Omaha\, it is officially part of Iowa. Meanwhile\, Lake Manawa emerged as one of the region’s most popular recreational destinations while attracting competing claims from both states. \nThrough historical research\, maps\, photographs\, and compelling stories\, Troy will unravel how floods\, geography\, politics\, and the courts combined to create one of the most unusual border disputes in American history. \nIf you’ve ever wondered why Carter Lake belongs to Iowa\, despite appearing to be part of Omaha\, this presentation is for you. \nSIGN UP \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Troy Stolp is a Lewis Central High School graduate who has dedicated much of his academic and professional life to the study and preservation of local history. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Religious Studies from Iowa State University\, a Bachelor of Arts in History from Buena Vista University\, and a Master of Arts in History from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Troy serves on the Board of Directors for Preserve Council Bluffs and the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County and has been involved with the Council Bluffs Historic Preservation Commission. His experience also includes work with the Durham Museum\, where he further developed his passion for sharing regional history with the public. Known for his engaging presentations and deep knowledge of local history\, Troy brings a unique perspective to the stories that have shaped both sides of the Missouri River. Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of Iowa\, Nebraska\, and the river that forever changed them both.

Rather than focusing on presidents\, generals\, and famous political leaders\, McMahon shines a light on twelve remarkable individuals whose actions influenced the course of American history from the Revolutionary era through the Civil Rights Movement. \nDrawing from extensive research and a gift for storytelling\, McMahon introduces readers to reformers\, educators\, activists\, laborers\, and everyday citizens who challenged injustice\, strengthened their communities\, and fought for a better future. Through their stories\, the book reveals how history is not made solely by those in positions of power\, but also by ordinary people willing to take extraordinary action when it matters most. \nAt its heart\, The Small and the Mighty is a celebration of perseverance\, civic responsibility\, and the often-overlooked individuals whose contributions continue to shape our lives today. It challenges readers to reconsider who we remember\, whose stories are told\, and how even seemingly small acts can leave a lasting mark on history. \nJoin us for a thoughtful discussion as we explore these inspiring stories and discover the profound impact that ordinary Americans have had on the nation’s journey.
