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.
