North for the Harvest examines the evolution of the relationships between American Crystal Sugar Company, the sugar beet growers, and the migrant workers. Though popular convention holds that corporations and landowners invariably exploited migrant workers, Norris reveals that these relationships were more complex. The company often clashed with growers, sometimes while advocating for workers. And many growers developed personal ties with their migrant workers, while workers themselves often found ways to leverage better pay and working conditions from the company.<br /><br />Ultimately, the lot of workers improved as the years went by. As one worker explained, something historic occurred for his family while working in the Red River Valley: \"We broke the chain there.\"<br /><br />\"North for the Harvest is beautifully conceived, very well written, and nuanced and original in its arguments.

Nearly 70 percent of the First Minnesota regiment lay dead or dying on the fieldone of the greatest losses of any unit engaged in the Civil War. Pale Horse at Plum Run is the study of this single regiment at this crucial moment in American history. Through painstaking research of firsthand accounts, eyewitness reports, and official records, Brian Leehan constructs a narrative remarkable for its attention to detail and careful reportage.<br /><br />Word of the First's heroic act at Gettysburg quickly spread along Union lines and back to Minnesota. Their stand late on July 2, 1863, stopped a furious rebel assault and saved the day for the Union. Emerging from the chaos of battle, however, firsthand reports contradicted each other. Confused officers and frightened soldiers told very different stories of the day's hearsay and camp gossip for their sources of information. All of this leaves the historical investigator to ask, what really happened that day at Plum Run?<br /><br />In order to answer that question, Leehan performs superlative historical detective work. By focusing on the men themselvesand their accounts of the engagementhe weaves together a narrative of the First's action on July 2 and 3. Those who escaped the scythe of battle the first day lived to play a pivotal role the next in rebuffing the most famous infantry assault in American military history, Pickett's Charge. By tracking the movements of individual soldiers over the field of battle, Leehan reconstructs in amazing detail the story of this remarkable band of soldiers.<br /><br />In his investigation of the battle Leehan raises important questions about how we can really know the truth about the past. In cogent appended essays, the author muses on the lack of standardized timekeeping in the mid-nineteenth century, on the nature of Civil War weaponry, and on the emergence of a heroic mythology after the war.", "author": "Brian Leehan", "slug": "pale-horse-at-plum-run-583148-9780873516891-brian-leehan", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/cover_image/9780873516891.png", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "583148", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/583148/pale-horse-at-plum-run-583148-9780873516891-brian-leehan", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS036050", "HIS027110" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "EISBN13": "9780873516891", "EISBN10": "0873516893" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010014918995" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000583147", "attributes": { "name": "The Last Hunter", "subtitle": "An American Family Album", "description": "Minnesota's Will Weaver has been a hunter since he was a young boy, following in the footsteps of his father, a dedicated and seasoned outdoorsman.

Ships carried timber one way across the Atlantic and emigrants on the way west.
