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.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from History of the Red River Valley, Vol. 1 of 2: Past and Present, Including an Account of the Counties, Cities, Towns, and Villages of the Valley From the Time of Their First Settlement and Formation "Genuine history is brought into existence only when the historian begins to unravel, across the lapse of time, the living man, toiling, impassioned, entrenched in his customs, with his voice and features, his gestures and dress, distinct and complete as he from whom we have just parted in the street." A history of a people which has passed away is the effort to make the past the present; to revivify the dead and present every phase of actual life as it once existed, with all its bad and good, its blessings and its sufferings; the home life, the public highway, the street, the field, men and women privately, collectively, at work and at play, socially and morally, as they once were here in the struggle for life. A picture most difficult, perhaps about impossible to draw. Hence, to approach this perfection in any respect, will make a valuable book, and one whose lessons will remain perpetually to the coming generations. A history of a people must, therefore, carefully consider the race, the epoch, and the climate and soil and their combined effects in elucidating the causes, after the facts have been collated. Where the period of time covered by the story is short - only a little more than a generation as in the history of this valley, the effects flowing out from these causes become shadowy and indistinct - more difficult to trace out and fix clearly to the view, in due ratio to the brevity of the period which comes within the purview of the writer. These conceptions of history were unknown to our forefathers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
