A microstudy of North Dakota
The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "North Dakota" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. The "Culture" section is especially good and is very inclusive.

This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators. ... Read more

Informative, entertaining, and educational!
I use this book as a supplement to my Foundations of Education Class to show how basic issues in education[even in ND] have been around since statehood. In evaluation after evaluation, students say I need to keep this book as required reading.Many not only keep their own copy, but also buy an additional one for parents or grandparents who attended one-room schools.This book is rich with teacher narratives, copies of primary documents [ledgers, teacher's school day, exams], and words that still ring true today.I highly recommend this book ESPECIALLY for Midwest education teachers!

Had to buy a second copy
I purchased this book for my mother for Christmas.She grew up in North Dakota and went to a one room schoolhouse through the eighth grade.After the holidays she lent the book to a friend who enjoyed it so much that we needed another copy. ... Read more
