Pirates on the Prairie a "historical and cultural treasure"

We were so proud to read the review of Pirates on the Prairie in today's Star Tribune in which columnist, John Millea, described the book as a "Minnesota historical and cultural treasure, especially for those of us who weren't alive in the 1940s and early 1950s, those of us who grew up in small American towns, those of us who appreciate the essence of young athletes giving it everything they've got and the euphoria that follows them."

Pirates on the Prairie a "Must Read"

Pirates on the Prairie was reviewed in Tuesday's Rochester, MN Post-Bulletin!

Sports editor, Craig Swalboski, writes ". . . the basketball and the history are so compelling in this tome that I recommend it for anyone who is interested in either of the topics."

Swalboski, continues, "As good as the story is, the history was -- for me at least -- equally compelling. The first quarter of the book sets the scene of what life was like in and near Halstad -- it was among hundreds of similar dots on the map in the early 1950s in states like Minnesota and North Dakota."
