Über diesen Titel
Forget the clichés about flyover country. North Dakota has always been more than wheat, wind, and frozen noses. It is a place of contradictions: radical and conservative, humble and proud, harsh and kind.
In Blizzards, Banks, and Bakken: An Irreverent History of North Dakota, Jordan Blake Carter takes listeners on a journey across two centuries of stubborn survival. Meet the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara who built thriving river towns long before statehood. March with the populists who took over their own government in the name of fairness. Survive the Dust Bowl, the Depression, and the floods that nearly swallowed cities whole. Then stand in the glow of oil rigs and Friday-night stadium lights, watching a state still learning how to balance change with endurance.
Told with humor, heart, and a healthy dose of prairie skepticism, this book celebrates the people who shovel, rebuild, and show up no matter what. North Dakota may not shout for attention, but it speaks volumes about what it means to keep faith with the land.
