Harlan Brandt needed a Good Samaritan. Would anyone answer the call for help? Would you? On any given day at any given time, we may be called to help someone in need. It could be someone close or someone unfamiliar. When Harlan Brandt, a cattleman living and working in northeast Nebraska, was critically injured in a horrific tractor accident, a slew of friends, family and strangers came to his rescue. This is the story of how and why each of these people came to Harlan’s rescue. These are their Good Samaritan stories.
