366 pages : maps ; 21 cm "They came on boats, on trains, great unceasing waves of them-the poor, the disenfranchised, the seekers, the dreamers. Second and third generations of farmers eking out an existence on scraps of farms divided up among too many sons. Political agitators no longer welcome in their homelands. Young men fleeing conscription in a king's army. Married couples starting out. Bachelors from towns with few women. The poor in tenements with air so stifling and foul there was no room to breathe, let alone dream. Come to Nebraska! Dakota Territory! Minnesota! Come to the Great Plains of America!"--Provided by publisher. general MELANIE BENJAMIN American fiction Blizzards Dakota Territory History Fiction Immigrants Dakota Territory Fiction 813.6 9780399182303 PPAK 221205 20221206121405.0 eng
