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.
In 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.
