History of Sioux County, Nebraska
1986 – First 100 Years
by the Sioux County History Book Committee

This is the Curtis Media county history for Sioux County, Nebraska—the large, sparsely settled county in the far northwest corner of the state. At 697 pages it follows the familiar Curtis Media format: a chronological overview of settlement and development, chapters on the principal communities (especially Harrison), schools, churches, businesses, and organizations, plus an extensive section of family biographies and photographs.

Researchers will find material on the early cattle and ranching era, the arrival of the railroad, homesteading, and the social and institutional life of the county through its first century. As with other Curtis Media volumes, the book is heavily illustrated and contains name indexes or biographical entries that make it useful for genealogy as well as local history.
