This is about small towns springing up across Minnesota and how these towns contributed to the social; moral and economic makeup of what would become the state of Minnesota and the high cost of living isolated lives and other factors associated with prairie towns.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Terrific additionBy Jay R. ClasenProf. Lovoll has provided a terrific addition to the study and understanding of the immigrant experience in America. Like his other masterpieces he thoroughly examines the history and sociology of the Norwegian story. This is an in-depth focus of a particular aspect of the creation of community in Minnesota; but it's principles applies to all frontier communities and the people who built them. I found it engrossing and fulfilling. Professor Lovoll's masterful storytelling helped me understand the challenges and rewards my forefathers endured and celebrated.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
