{"product_id":"north-star-country-meridel-le-sueur-9780816632527","title":"North Star Country","description":"North Star Country explores country stores and county fairs, labor unions and dusty roads traveled by peddlers and truck drivers, and farms where families toil. Written in 1945 by acclaimed activist and writer Meridel Le Sueur, this unconventional history shines an uncommon light on the lives of ordinary people in the Upper Midwest.\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of James Agee and John Dos Passos, Le Sueur creates a mosaic from the fabric of everyday life, including newspapers clippings, private letters, diaries, and lyrics from popular songs. Each quotation and brief vignette opens a window to an entire lifetime or a way of life. North Star Country highlights the struggles of American Indians and offers a fresh sensibility, untangling the history of the Upper Midwest, sorting it out and returning it to the common people, to common readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meridel Le Sueur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816632529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816632527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.93h x 5.30w x 1.00d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meridel Le Sueur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058201227519,"sku":"9780816632527","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48d91520-263f-4c11-b9d2-7ee77932a232.jpg?v=1685051216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-star-country-meridel-le-sueur-9780816632527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
