NORTH DAKOTA- A GUIDE TO THE NORTHERN PRAIRIE STATE Written by Workers of the Federal Writers 3 Project of the Works Progress Administration for the State of North Dakota. Originlly published in 1938 . PREFACE: North Dakota a Guide to the Northern Prairie State is some thing new in this part of the country. For the first time North Dakotans and their guests have a concise but comprehensive survey of the State, which tells them what should be seen, and why, and how. Our aim has been a book not only to be used in touring the State, but to be enjoyed by fireside travellers and all who would deepen their understanding of North Dakota. As one of the volumes in the American Guide Series, written by the members of the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration, the North Dakota guide has more than State significance, wide as this is. The National project was de signed primarily to give useful employment to needy writers and research workers it has developed into a more ambitious under taking. The American Guide Series, covering the forty-eight States, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and numerous cities and towns, is unrolling a unique and inspiring panorama of these United States with their lively background and their vibrant present. The North Dakota guide adds its contribution to the whole, giving the reader a pic ture of the State, its land and resources, its history, people, the cities and towns they have built, and the principal points of interest. New chapters in North Dakotas story and other phases of its life and works are still to be told. This volume a pioneer enter prise in a State where the records of the past and the varied life of today had not heretofore been assembled may well serve as an incentive and a foundation for further books. Not ten or fifty or a hundred, but actually hundreds of North Dakotans helped in the making of the guide, from the many who contributed information about their own communities or fields of work down to the handful of editors and writers who brought that information within the covers of this book. In expressing the Projects appreciation of this friendly and cooperative help, so generously given, I wish particularly to thank Mr. Russell Reid, superintendent of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, and his staff, especially Mrs. Florence H. Davis and Mr. Arnold Goplen Mr. George Will and Mr. Robert A. Ritterbush, of Bismarck Dr. Irvin Lavine, of the University of North Dakota Mr. E. A. Milli gan, of Michigan City Mr. J. A. Patterson, of Minot Dr. E. C. Stucke, of Garrison and Mr. Henry Williams, of Appaxn.
