Description
The Red River Valley is a "vast plain, twenty-five to fifty miles wide and 300 miles long, lying half in Minnesota and half in North Dakota, thence continuing into Manitoba and so stretching from Lake Traverse and Breckenridge north to Lake Winnipeg." A variety of authors contributed to this massive, two-volume set, which examines a wide range of topics including: geographical history, topography, development, the Old Settlers' Association, biographical sketches of Old Setters, botanical investigations, agriculture, Norwegians and Icelanders, Indians, the Sioux War, higher education, the river cart, boating, railroads, lumber and timber, the Hudson Bay Fur Company, churches, newspapers, political history, the National Guard of North Dakota, and more...This comprehensive work is completed by a section of brief biographical sketches. The sketches are arranged alphabetically by surname, some with portraits. An index to full names, places and subjects; and numerous photographs of people and places enhance the text.
