A Land Called Minnesota:
 This is the story of the young people who pursued their dream across the ocean, never to see their homeland or families again.  Instead, in a very short time, they built lives, traditions, and families who now call this their home.
Stop This Wagon:
A fanciful tale of crossing this great land with dreams of California, only to settle for something else.  As one Prairie resident once told me, They settled here because some of the wagons broke
Don’t Let the Sun:
  A farmer’s lament; sometimes the work is so hard, and the rewards so few.  If we didn’t love the land and the cycle of life, we might not stay
War On the River: 
This is an account of the Battle of the Piles, which took place on the St. Croix.  Steamboats and railroads took some time and diplomacy to learn how to co-exist.

 If you’ve ever walked through the tall timber in Itasca State Park, and just pictured what it must have been like with trees like that from the eastern Great Lakes to the Prairie.
Dam the River:
 This is a story of some competing development interests, and the construction of the Biggest Wooden Dam in the world, Nevers Dam.
I 35:
 Since I live in Duluth, I couldn’t help but notice that the Interstate System doesn’t always go everywhere, or through everything.  This song was written when the highway was extended another 3 miles with a marvel of engineering, cooperation of government agencies, development of the waterfront, and the road still stops here.
