About the Author

William C. Sherman is a retired professor of sociology from North Dakota State University, where he taught rural and regional sociology. He also served as pastor of St. Michael s Church in Grand Forks, ND, and still delivers mass daily. The scholarly contributions of Father Bill Sherman to ethnic studies on the northern plains did not cease with publication of Prairie Mosaic. It is but an early peak in a long line of meticulously researched, path-breaking studies. Most notable in the line is Plains Folk: North Dakota s Ethnic History, for which Bill was lead editor and first author. That work was published by the Institute for Regional Studies in 1986. Those wishing to explore the further contributions of Fr. Bill Sherman, and to be enlightened as to the rich ethnic diversity of North Dakota, may consult the selected bibliography (chronological listing) below.Sherman, William C.
