To This End is a project that centers on my search for stories of my ancestors: disabled people in Nebraska, mainly between 1890-1920. This project is ongoing. Some of it I am saving for a film documentary I am currently writing, but I will add chapters here as I put together stories I would rather share in written format. [Chapter 01 is mostly memoir, so if you’re here for the history, begin at chapter 02.]

Chapter 01. The Iron Lung

Chapter 02. Lizzie

Chapter 03. Eliza

Chapter 04. Angelo

To be continued…

Chapter 05. For Want of a Wooden Leg

Chapter 06. Visiting Giants
