Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Elders is comprised of four firsthand accounts from elders who grew up in the Missouri River bottomlands and had adult experiences prior to the Garrison Dam completion in 1953/1954. The four elders take the reader back to what life was like in the now inundated cities of Elbowoods and Nishu, N.D., as well as share their emotional stories of how the federal government forced them to leave their homes and way of life. The book also offers information on Fort Berthold, Fort Stevenson, the Fort Stevenson Indian Boarding School, Coal Harbor, Victoria Township, and Old Garrison as well as more light-hearted stories of the Elbowoods Dream Team, a nasty winter, and the Old Scout Cemetery.
Includes bibliographical references and photograph index.
