Erling N. Rolfsrud Books
Rural
Route Bookstore is the sole distributor of Erling N. Rolfsrud's (1912 -
1994) books. Eight of his twenty-some books are still
available. Seven of these are about pioneering and homesteading
in Western North Dakota, and while they are geared to children, they
are thoroughly enjoyed by adults as well.
(Interesting
tidbit: While going through my Mom's old stuff this
summer, my daughter noticed that Mr. Rolfsrud was the keynote
speaker at my high school graduation. I had forgotten that,
but I have not forgotten reading Gopher Tails for
Papa in grade school. Suzann Nelson)
