4.0 out of 5 stars
A New Fargo Classic,
This review is from: Gateway to the Northern Plains: Railroads and the Birth of Fargo and Moorhead (Hardcover)
Fargo came into the national consciousness a few years back when the Coen brothers' Fargo film became a popular classic. Carroll Engelhardt's Gateway to the Northern Plains, providing a history of Fargo ND, and its sister city, Moorhead MN, will not breach the national consciousness. But the book does offer what deserves to be regarded as a classic history of an urban area's formative years. Engelhardt's work is a labor of love but a pleasant read. The author does a superb job of telling the complex story of the rise of sister cities on the northern Plains, made possible by the arrival of the railways and realized by a 'cast' of intriguing people. Englehardt's story telling is supported by a fine selection of photos, by extensive notes (in the back of the book), and an extensive index. The book is arguably a classic of its kind even if it'll never hit the national consciousness.
