“SAVING HARLAN BRANDT”

by Kent Warneke and Kevin Warneke.

New book shares Northeast Nebraskan’s tale of survival thanks to modern-day Good Samaritans

Osmond Public Library to host book signing and presentation on Feb. 7

Harlan Brandt should have died that October day in 2013.

The Antelope County cattleman was critically injured when the tractor he was driving along Highway 275 was clipped by a passing vehicle. The collision threw Brandt from his tractor as it crumpled beneath him.

This compelling tale is the focus of a new book written by brothers Kent and Kevin Warneke, who chose to transform his story into something much more than a near-death experience.

For Osmond area residents interested in learning more about the story, the Osmond Public Library will host a book signing and presentation on Wednesday, Feb. 7, at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend and hear from Kent Warneke about the book. Copies will be available for purchase.

The Warnekes, who are natives of Plainview, knew that Harlan Brandt’s type of faith-based story often had been told before, so they instead chose to chronicle Brandt’s experience through the lens of those who came to his rescue that day and in the days that followed. It became a story about the Good Samaritans who helped him through heroic measures and seemingly routine gestures of kindness.

The library is open today.

Come on in and get some books but please be careful outside.

If you are in need of a book, magazine, DVD, or puzzle let us know and we will get it delivered this afternoon at around 3pm.

We would be happy to put together a “bundle” and check it out to you.

A bundle would be a group of all of the above, just give us the age ranges and we’ll find interesting items to include.

These would be a great surprise for kids or adults that have been stuck indoors for so many days due to the ridiculously low temps.

This is for anyone in Osmond!
