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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLAW / Courts$2bisacsh 606 $aLAW / Legal History$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI)$2bisacsh 606 $aDistrict courts$zNebraska$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDistrict courts$zNebraska$xHistory$y19th century 615 7$aLAW / Courts. 615 7$aLAW / Legal History. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI). 615 7$aDistrict courts$xHistory 615 7$aDistrict courts$xHistory 676 $a347.73/220978209034 686 $aHIS036090$aLAW060000$aLAW025000$2bisacsh 700 $aWunder$b John R.$0531737 702 $aScherer$b Mark R. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956836703321 996 $aEcho of its time$94358455 997 $aUNINA
