Dakota: Every Town on the Map and More: A Pictorial History

The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection is pleased to provide
this valuable book, North Dakota: Every Town on the Map and
More: A Pictorial History.
In the Foreword, Vernell Johnson writes: "We both had great grandparents
and grandparents from Sweden and Norway who homesteaded in Dakota
Territory. Being North Dakota was a part of Dakota Territory, we decided
to photograph every town on the map, some ghost towns and other interesting
and historic locations in North Dakota, and publish a book. We traveled
over 23,000 miles and documented over 700 locations on film. We do
not claim to have every ghost town but we do have every town listed,
362, on the North Dakota official highway map."
"We enjoyed the natural wonders, the wildlife, the beautiful
Red River Valley and the many historical sites throughout North
Dakota. We met a host of friendly people and our experiences will
never be forgotten. Louise and I feel we have captured history with
the camera. The landmarks in the state and buildings on the farms
and ranches and in the small towns and cities deserve our respect
and admiration. There is no greater reward than to preserve and
protect what we cherish."
