With funding assistance from the North Dakota Humanities Council and more than two years of preparation by the indexers and editor, the Soci- ety is happy to offer a key to assist users in unlocking the treasure trove of scholarship about the history and culture of the Northern Plains that appeared in North Dakota History from the time the journal took its present name in 1945 through 1998. Until this time, one of the few tools researchers had to plumb the depths of the journal, short of browsing through individual copies, was a document titled Compiled Table of Contents to the Publications of the State Historical Society of North Dakota with Author, Title and Subject Indi- ces. It is long out of print and limited in its scope. Therefore, it was a delight to the indexers, Janet Daley and Ann M. Rathke, to spend many hours poring over the more than one thousand articles and features that have appeared in North Dakota History since 1945 in preparing this new index. With the assistance of Society staff members, especially Gerald Newborg, director, and Dolores Vyzralek, chief librarian, of the State Archives and Historical Research Library, Kathy Davison, publications assistant, and the valuable help of several temporary employees who were hired to assist in the preparation of this print version, the cumulative index slowly expanded and took shape. For the first time, the information found within the pages of this index is also available on a CD-ROM that libraries and other users will find invaluable. Beginning in 1999, an index of the articles and book reviews published each year will appear annually in the final issue of North Dakota History for that year. We hope that the entries in this index will help you find what you are seeking, amidst the names of towns that once thrived on the North Dakota plains but have now disappeared; the characters who might have been players in a well-known or everyday human drama that happened in this place; the private letters that were saved and then were made public in the pages of this history journal. Given the time constraints and publication costs, this index is not as detailed as the indexers would have preferred or that users may desire, but we hope that it serves as a useful guide to the wealth of information about people, places, events, and environments in the state’s past. It is our hope to continue this work with a future index of the North Dakota Historical Quarterly (1926-1944) and the Collections of the State Historical Society of North Dakota (1906-1925).

The publication efforts began in 1906 with the Collections of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, a series of seven volumes that ended in 1925. The Society began publishing a quarterly historical journal in 1926, under the title of the North Dakota Historical Quarterly, with University of North Dakota history professor Orin G. Libby as its first and only editor. Through 1944 eleven volumes of the Quarterly were published, with a lapse in publication from 1933 through 1939. In 1945 following Libby’s retirement as editor and secretary of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, a post he held for forty years, the Society changed the name of the quarterly journal to North Dakota History, the point where this cumulative index begins. The citations begin with the first issue of 1945, numbered as volume 12, and end with the last issue of 1998, numbered as volume 65. Entries in this cumulative index include: titles and authors of all articles published, titles and authors of all books reviewed, names of all book reviewers, and topics covered in articles. The entries include the names of individuals, places, events, organizations, institutions, movements, and topical subjects, both general and specific. The indexers made decisions about which entries to include in the index based on the amount and importance of information offered about the person, place, or topic in any article. For example, if an article on the geography of western North Dakota mentioned that Theodore Roosevelt had once owned a ranch in the badlands but offered no elaboration or specific information about Roosevelt or the ranch, neither would be cited herein. On the other hand, an article that dealt with the formation of the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association, in which Theodore Roosevelt was featured as a moving force, would be cited under “Roosevelt, Theodore.” Each alphabetical entry is followed by numbers that identify the volume number, issue number, and inclusive pages of the article cited. The first entry, Aaberg Academy, 61.1: 9-21, indicates that information about the Aaberg Academy can be found in volume 61, number 1, on pages 9-21. The Year/Volume Reference Guide appears on the opposite page and at the bottom of every even-numbered page in the index. The issue numbers correspond to the seasons, as follows: 1 = Winter 2 = Spring 3 = Summer 4 = Fall If the article appears in an issue that covers two seasons, the numbers will be joined with an ampersand, i.e., 13.1 & 2: 5-70, meaning the article can be found in volume 13, numbers 1 and 2 (winter and spring 1946), on pages 5-70. v The entries include all citations attributable to a single individual, which may include a person who is the subject of an article, the author of an article, the author of book that has been reviewed, or the author of a book review. The nature of the citation is indicated by the terms that follow it. For example, this is the entry for former governor William L. Guy: Guy, William L.-governor, 62.2:20-28; articles by, 31.3: 148-149, 33.3: 316-318, 36.2: 188-195, 37.2: 138-147; review of, 61.1 The first reference is to an article about William Guy as governor, the next four references are to the four articles that Guy himself contributed to North Dakota History, and the final reference is to a review of William Guy’s book, Where Seldom Was Heard a Discouraging Word. Book reviews are cited three ways: by title (with the author, editor, or compiler’s name in parentheses), by author/editor/compiler, and by the reviewer. Only the volume and number are cited, without specific page number, but the book reviews are consistently found in the last pages of any issue. Regrettably, the constraints of time and funding also did not allow the indexers to cite specific page numbers on which a topic within an article appears, nor are photo- graphs, illustrations, or maps specifically cited. vi Contents Preface . iii Year/Volume Reference Guide . iv A User’s Guide . v 1945-1998 Index. 1 Books Published by the State Historical Society of North Dakota .
