Prairie Wind, Blow Me Back is an imaginative but yet realistic treatment of the experience of one family which left Norway to settle on the South Dakota prairie. The author wasn’t there, of course, but with care and rare insight she fashions a story which might well have been played out exactly as she writes it. The people are human, Nordic and natural. They behave as immigrants must have. Their joys and sorrows, their defeats and their triumphs are pictured with believable care.

AUTHOR BIO: Evelyn Dale Iverson is a granddaughter of Nils A. Dale in this story, and a daughter of Hans M. Dale, the infant, in this story, who came in a covered wagon to Dakota Territory over a hundred years ago. The author is a native of Canton, South Dakota, where her father was a professor and later the president of Augustana Academy. She graduated from Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota, when her father was treasurer of that college.
