Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buck Steichen is doing his best to endure the tribulations that accompany living in rural Minnesota during a time of drought, insect infestations, and other hardships. Buck eventually finds happiness with Ellie Eberling, and in July 1874, he marries her, purchases farmland, and builds a house. It seems Buck has realized the American dream-or so he thinks. Rough on Rats is an epic tale of a family's struggles in rural Minnesota as they do everything in their power to survive amid trying times. "The book captures your attention immediately and holds your interest throughout, wanting to find out what happens next to Buck. I think we can all relate to those who try so hard, only to be beaten down again and again." -Vicky Anderson, Otter Tail County Historical Society "I really enjoyed it. I actually found it easy and fast to read. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next." -Mary Pfeffer, East Otter Tail County Museum

Book excerpt: America’s fascination with the stock market dates back to the Gilded Age. Winner of the BAAS Book Prize of the British Association of American Studies Americans pay famously close attention to “the market,” obsessively watching trends, patterns, and swings and looking for clues in every fluctuation. In Reading the Market, Peter Knight explores the Gilded Age origins and development of this peculiar interest. He tracks the historic shift in market operations from local to national while examining how present-day ideas about the nature of markets are tied to past genres of financial representation. Drawing on the late nineteenth-century explosion of art, literature, and media, which sought to dramatize the workings of the stock market for a wide audience, Knight shows how ordinary Americans became both emotionally and financially invested in the market. He analyzes popular investment manuals, brokers’ newsletters, newspaper columns, magazine articles, illustrations, and cartoons. He also introduces readers to fiction featuring financial tricksters, which was characterized by themes of personal trust and insider information. The book reveals how the popular culture of the period shaped the very idea of the market as a self-regulating mechanism by making the impersonal abstractions of high finance personal and concrete. From the rise of ticker-tape technology to the development of conspiracy theories, Reading the Market argues that commentary on the Stock Exchange between 1870 and 1915 changed how Americans understood finance—and explains what our pervasive interest in Wall Street says about us now.

Book excerpt: Working Land, by Minnesota photographer Jon Solinger, tells the stories of six family farms in his Otter Tail County neighborhood. It focuses on the people rooted to these places through working the land, and who have deep ties to a place through past generations and the hope for future regeneration. He photographs with sensitivity and empathy, being a third-generation owner of a place-embedded family business.The book's landscape images and workplace portraits, made in places seldom seen or considered by most, contemplate the human experience of living and working on this land. It speaks of the labor that shaped our landscape and how the land in turn shapes the lives of those who work it.The people--the central subject of Working Land --make their voices heard through hand-drawn maps, diagrams and timelines produced in collaboration with Solinger. The book, made possible with an Arts and Cultural Heritage grant through the Lake Region Arts Council, also contains essays by others and an afterword and artist notes by Solinger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time spent catching fish is only the kernel of the fishing experience. Surrounding those moments is months of anticipation and years of memories. There's More To Fishing (Than Catching Fish) is about the friendships that grow with the fishing days, about getting to know a home water, traveling to distant waters, about the food and drink at fishing camp, about the workings of the natural world, about fishing as youngsters and as old-timers, about fishing nights in front of the fireplace, about the underlying romantic nature of fishermen and about how the act of fishing leads to the angler's infamous disregard for the truth.There's More To Fishing (Than Catching Fish) reveals to the angler and non-angler alike a natural world that functions according to its own timeless rhythms. It is world of wild western rivers, Florida salt flats, and salmon-choked Alaskan waters. It is a world of thunderstorms, whitewater driftboats and the poignant cycle of salmon returning to their natal waters. It is a world peopled by family, friends, liars and seers. It is a world seen through the eyes of a quizzical angler in search of fish and other mysteries of life. At once perceptive and humorous, it is a book from the heart that is not easily forgotten.
