Nebraskashire Gentry

Roustabout

for once I agreed with the insufferable Countess Ellen Olenska when she said, "It seems stupid to have discovered America only to make it into a copy of another country".

despite its many faults, Nebraskashire is truly unique. the employ of Old World techniques (particularly those of the French) in city planning insults the American ingenuity I so admire and results in a rather muddled composition.
