Synopsis

An engaging, richly detailed biography of a family of Norwegian immigrant homesteaders in eastern North Dakota in the late 1800s. Educator and world traveler Aagot Raaen wrote this reminiscence late in her life. Like Giants in the Earth and Old Jules, Grass of the Earth deals frankly with a darker side of pioneer life on the prairie.

Review

"This is a readable, enjoyable book. It is one with much struggle and misery, but it has a relatively happy ending. The reader will be pulling for all of them, Aagot in particular, from start to finish." -- Ramsey County History
