Pirates on the Prairie chronicles the achievements of a remarkable group of athletes who explode out of tiny Halstad, Minnesota, in 1952 to take the state by storm.Bergeson does more than follow the exploits of a high school basketball team and a high school baseball team. He takes the reader back in time by tracing the history of northwestern Minnesota and describing how the early Norwegians settled the land.He outlines the hardships faced by these hardy Scandinavians as they built schools, churches, and businesses. Bergeson also highlights Halstads famous native, Skitch Henderson, who was Johnny Carsons first bandleader on The Tonight Show.Lute Olson, former area resident and University of Arizona mens basketball coach, says Reading Pirates on the Prairie was a look into my own Midwestern Scandinavian background.In his book, Bergeson explains that World War I brought prosperity to the Red River Valley area. But, while the country was enjoying Babe Ruth, the Great Gatsby, and Charles Lindberg, the rural economy was declining. Just as Sinclair Lewis in Main Street punctured the balloon of the small town mystique, the market system dismantled the family farm. A mass exodus from farming began despite the efforts of Franklin Roosevelt, the WPA, and the REA.Then Bergeson turns his attention to a group of boys growing up in Minnesota. He traces the development of these players and their families while vividly bringing to life the environment that nourished them. Bergeson takes the reader through the exciting 1952 season and the pivotal game with the Thief River Falls Prowlers that propels the Halstad Pirates to the Minnesota State Basketball Tournament in Minneapolis.Gradually, Pirates on the Prairie answers the fundamental question: How did this improbable story happen? At the same time, the reader detects a foreboding undercurrent-a story of loss. For the book also documents a profound change in rural American culture that is felt today..

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of William Cooper's Town comes a dramatic and illuminating portrait of white and Native American relations in the aftermath of the American Revolution.

The Divided Ground tells the story of two friends, a Mohawk Indian and the son of a colonial clergyman, whose relationship helped redefine North America. As one served American expansion by promoting Indian dispossession and religious conversion, and the other struggled to defend and strengthen Indian territories, the two friends became bitter enemies. Their battle over control of the Indian borderland, that divided ground between the British Empire and the nascent United States, would come to define nationhood in North America. Taylor tells a fascinating story of the far-reaching effects of the American Revolution and the struggle of American Indians to preserve a land of their own..

This book is a survey of small houses from early settler cabins to the tiny house movement of today. The houses include frontier shelters, squatter houses, Cracker houses, farmhouses, bandboxes, shotguns, bungalows, and tiny houses. The book shows how these houses were built and served the special needs of their owner-builders. Each chapter starts by showing the house in the context of its construction, the kind of resources that were available to its owners, and how their construction was shaped by both their purpose and historical situation. Many of the insights of these home-builders can be used in small house construction today. These insights include the use of decks and outdoor spaces, separation of spaces, and simple framing techniques that are visible in the construction models. These models help readers get a feel for what it might be like to live in a small space and ways traditional builders maximized the efficiency and comfort of their homes. The book s CD includes a model of every house in the book as well as contextual plans and elevations, three-dimensional details of the structure, and the layout of each house. Readers can explore the house s construction, deconstruct its pieces, modify the spaces, and adapt them to test their own ideas. All our books are written as graphic narratives in a comic style. Every book mixes layers of visual information with construction models, short video tours, and tutorials on how the models were built and organized..
