The pages of this book come alive with the beauty and grandeur of this land of changing seasons'the badlands, sweep of prairie, northern forests, lakes, wide Missouri, wildlife, the drama of winter, vitality of springtime, pace of August and melting warmth of golden Indian Summer days. The ironies of human experience in this land have not been evaded. Dramatic themes that begin in history and spill over into issues of today'a crisis on Indian reservations, drought, the cost-price squeeze in agriculture, water, coal and oil.Yet North Dakota Land of Changing Seasons is a positive book that confirms the strength of rural America in the high-tech age. Open it anywhere to illustrations that evoke a memory or stir the soul. A threshing scene, rodeos, girls cooking over a campfire, skiing the Turtle Mountains, bighorns silhouetted on the ridge. Here are pioneer stories told in a mother's own words, the raucous cry of the land promoter, jokes and frivolity of homesteading days. Here are college students, athletes, actors, tourists, ranchers, fishermen, old-timers and hunters. Illustrated with more than four hundred pictures, over sixty in full color.
