Giants of the Earth
Service from Amazon is superb!
Giants of the Earth arrived in great shape and is the thought provoking story
I remember. Rolvaag presents the story of the settling of South Dakota territory in a very personal and stirring manner.
I use the used book system from Amazon often. Thank you for the consistent quality.
A Fascinating Classic
This classic, written by Norwegian immigrant and professor O.E. Rolvaag, concerns a group of Norwegians who decide to move west from Minnesota. The hardships which beset them are described in detail, from hunger, to grasshopper plagues, to, finally, madness. This book is well written, with language accessible to the modern reader, even though it was written in the 1920's. This is my second time reading it and, as with every great book, there is more to be uncovered with every reading.
Giants in the Earth
Study of Norwegian immigrants settling in Iowa - well written and authorative. Gives you the sense of what the pioneers went through to create new settlements in the Dakota territory in the 1880's
