Price: $45.00 hardcover; $29.95 softcover * Order Form * Back to Publications

Dr. Littlefield tells this story through a century of North Dakota's speech and fine arts programs in schools from Williston to Wahpeton, from Pembina to Bowman. He relies on a huge variety of primary sources--newspapers, yearbooks, files long forgotten--to reconstruct a story never before heard in the Midwest. Voices and faces return to claim their heritage in a land so big, yet so remote. In this book the voices of the past join the present to speak to us again.
