There Will Always Be A Nebraska
Historical mug shots taken during the turn of the century in Nebraska have been released, revealing the wide array of crimes and even wider array of characters that wound up behind bars. From prostitutes and vagrants to murderers and chicken thieves, the photos cover both serious and minor offenses. And, in some cases, rather humorous ones, like the woman named Bertha who would faint on men in order to pick their pockets. You gotta have a gimmick.
