I can't speak to the quality of the last one, but the first two could probably
do with a BSO.

I spent my high school years in Minneapolis. I wonder if the author is
related to whomever Ft. Snelling is named for.

I sent titles from a series plus the first review of the first book
in the series.
Hope you don't mind I'll try not to bother you to much but couldn't
resist these.
Try the Red River of the North series by Lauraine Snelling.
This series includes six titles:
An Untamed Land
A New Day Rising
A Land To Call Home
The Reaper’s Song
Tender Mercies
Blessing In Disguise
Masterfully written faith-filled stories following Norwegian
Immigrants as they try to carve out a life in the wilds of the Dakota
Territory. Gripping story telling. Schnelling's series qualifies as is first
class historical fiction.
The books are available for purchase from Amazon.com
Description from the first title "An Untamed Land":
"Book Description
She had promised herself that once they left the fjords of Norway,
she would never look back. The promise of free land lures Roald and Ingeborg
Bjorklund from their beloved home high above the fjords of Norway, and after
three long years of scrimping and saving to buy tickets for their passage to
America, they finally arrive at the docks of New York City. This new land
promises a rich heritage for their children, and here they hope to build a good
life. After a long journey by train and then by covered wagon, the Bjorklunds
finally arrive in Dakota Territory, where they settle on the banks of the Red
River of the North. But the virgin prairie refuses to yield its treasure
without a struggle. Will Roald and Ingeborg be strong enough to overcome the
hardships of that first winter? Proud of their heritage and sustained by their
faith, they came to tame a new land.
