  • History of North Dakota CHAPTER 22
    516 History of North Dakota CHAPTER 22 Cultural Growth and Adaptation: The Arts, Libraries, Newspapers, and Churches, 1920-1960 IN THE YEARS AFTER the First World War, both North Dakota and the nation witnessed the same cultural trends: the growth of high school and college enrollments, the decline of rural churches and the union of larger church bodies, increased use of libraries, the expansion of daily newspapers, the rapid acceptance of radio and, later, television, and a growing interest in the arts. In North Dakota, as in the nation, the larger urban places were the centers for cultural activities, and women and women’s clubs played a leading role in promoting many of them. While national trends were important, the cultural life of North Dakota was primarily shaped by the state’s rural character. Outside a dozen urban centers, the population was spread very thinly over a large area. Churches, newspapers, and libraries faced the problem of serving small numbers of widely separated people. To meet these needs, the pioneers had established many country churches, many weekly newspapers, and many library associations, so that by 1920, North Dakota had an oversupply of these and other cultural agencies. Many were too small and weak to survive or do effective work. What was needed was to tie the cultural life of the larger towns more thoroughly and intimately to the rural areas, to create in some way the large communities which automobiles and improved roads made possible. In other words, the state’s cultural life had to be adapted to existing environmental conditions.

  • ANTOINE GINGRAS (1821-1877) Fur Trader
    Did You Know That...? Volume 2 Snapshots ANTOINE GINGRAS (1821-1877) Fur Trader Honored Annually in Northeastern North Dakota Every year Walhalla celebrates "Gingras Day!" It is held in celebration of Antoine Gingras, an area entrepreneur who died in 1877. When Dakota Territory was created in 1861, Gingras was considered the richest man in the territory. He made most of his fortune by transporting animal hides, mostly buffalo, from what is now northeast North Dakota to St. Paul, a distance of 600 miles. He also had stores in Pembina, St. Joseph (now Walhalla), and Fort Garry (now Winnipeg), as well as a trading post near the Souris River. Gingras served in the Minnesota Territorial legislature in 1852 and 1853, participated in the 1869 rebellion led by Louis Riel against Canada, and had a county in Dakota Territory named after him. JOSEPH WHISTLER (1822-1898) Military Commander in Charge of Five Forts in What is Now North Dakota A man who was commander of several military posts in what is now North Dakota helped save the lives of countless starving Indians in the winter of 1867-68 and had a profound influence in the territories of Dakota and Montana from 1867 to 1888. Joseph Whistler was also the nephew of a woman whose portrait has been admired by millions of people for the past 135 years. His cousin, James Whistler, painted An Arrangement in Grey and Black, which is considered a masterpiece. The portrait is better known as Whistler's Mother.

For about 115 years Norwegians have been part and parcel of this community and have made their substantial contributions to the upbuilding of the City and the land. These contributions to what may be called the Making of America have on the part of the Norwegian ele- ment embraced nearly every field of human endeavor, although it is quite natural that in the Port of New York and along the Atlantic seaboard as a whole the heaviest contribution to American life and development has been in shipping in all its various phases.

  • Honoring Hans Christian Heg
    Honoring Hans Christian Heg Norman Dasinger, Jr., December 7, 2020 blueandgrayeducation.org Col. Hans Heg at Chickamauga, by Herbjørn Gausta (1854-1924) in 1915 | public domain “Of bronze, heroic size, [and] represents the warrior standing with bared head, looking gravely into the distance,” wrote the Wisconsin Magazine in December 1926. The publication was describing the Hans Heg monument that was dedicated on the Wisconsin State House grounds on October 17, 1926. Col, Hans Heg was the highest ranking Scandinavian immigrant killed in the Civil War. He was mortally wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, on September 19, 1863 leading a Federal infantry brigade. In 1926, Paul Fjelde completed three cast bronze statues of Heg. One stands in Leir, Norway, Heg’s hometown. One was placed in Racine County, Wisconsin, near the Heg family home and where he recruited the 15th Wisconsin Infantry, and the third at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison. In February 1920, Norwegian-Americans began a drive to raise $25,000 for a statue honoring Heg. Originally planned for a cemetery in Racine, permission was instead granted for it to be placed at the state capitol. Sculptor Fjelde was a Minneapolis native, but his father had been a sculptor in Norway. His father’s brother, Dr. Herman O. Fjelde, was the chairman of the committee for the Lincoln monument that stands in Oslo, Norway. Paul was an instructor of sculpture at the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts. His works also include the bronze portrait of Orville Wright in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, on the grounds of Bronx Community College in the Bronx, New York City.
