You may be wondering where exactly Little Omaha is - well, this is the place name once given to the town and surrounding area now known as Leigh. Evans says the locality is called the Village of Leigh on a map from 1858 and that the earliest mention of the name Little Omaha is about 1864. It became Leigh sometime in the early 20th century. "The book will appeal to people who are either Leigh locals or visitors the area. If you've ever thought, 'I wonder who the first people to stay in this house or live on this farm were', then this is for you. "Using the survey maps in the book you'll be able to find the lot number, then go to the lot summary and find out who purchased it. With the names you can look up the story of a particular person or family, which is further on in the book," he says.
