Where Coyotes Howl is a remarkably detailed and authentic record of nearly fifty years of life in and around Midland, South Dakota. Beginning in Norway the story focuses of Anderson's randmother who followed her sons to Midland and homesteaded on the Bad River in 1907. The book is rich in accounts of ranching, cowboying, racing, and trading horses, the risk to life and property by adverse weather conditions and the black blizzards and collapsed economy of the Dirty Thirties. Based in part on articles in the Midland newspapers, Anderson's book is also a faithful rendering of the growth and development of the town of Midland.
