The History of The Northern Great Plains CD: The History of The Northern Great Plains CD |
| Product Description : History owes a huge debt to one man who spent sixty years of his life in recording the story of the settlement of the Great Northern Plains in a most unusual manner. This outstanding historian is none other than Fred Hultstrand, whose fascination for even the tiniest aspects of life - which others may easily have ignored or taken for granted - and his equally compelling desire to record his observations on film resulted in a fabulous collection of photographs. This CD, with over 900 graphic photographs taken by Hultstrand, portrays a diverse subject content, ranging from early sod homes, to farming scenes, to small town life, to social events, and to education on the prairie. It also records the transformation of a part of the American frontier in the short span of forty years, from the early 1880s to the 1920s. As a historical record, these images are unquestionably priceless, but they serve a much larger purpose than merely recording events. These photographs speak of a great conquest - that of man over circumstances and pays rich tribute to the families who endured each challenge thrown at them with spirited determination. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and you don?t have to look beyond this rare and historic CD for proof of this. I am certain that this CD will serve to enrich and broaden the scope of understanding of life in the Northern Great Plains at the turn of the 20th century in a delightful manner and that it will be a valuable addition to any collection of historic CDs. |
