Book Reviews WAR GIRLS Tochi Onyebuchi’s War Girls is a young adult sci-fi novel set in 2172’s Nigerian Civil War. It’s a time when much of the planet is uninhabitable and humans are able to continue fighting with the use of advanced cybernetics and other mechanical implants. But past all the tech and fairly heavy war writing (Onyebuchi based much of the story on the real-life Nigerian Civil War of the late 1960s, something his own mother experienced first-hand as a child), there’s a story of real friendship between two young women who grow to be close as siblings. And, wouldn’t you know it – it ended with “To Be Continued,” which is why I’m over the moon that November will see Rebel Sisters, the concluding part of the Duology. Fantastic world building driven by believable characters who

aren’t just going through the motions of the plot. If you have a teen (or adult!) who’s a fan of Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone or Nnedi Okorafor’s Akata books, this will make the perfect pair of books to share with them. – David Wolff THE WILD WINTER SWAN Gregory Maguire’s The Wild Winter Swan is a miraculous little book. It’s Manhattan in the 1960s, and teenaged Laura Ciardi – mostly orphaned and living with her grandparents – has taken to translating the mundane details of her life into narrative in an attempt to prove to herself that she exists. And then a miracle happens, in the form of a boy with one giant wing appearing on her roof, and Laura’s life suddenly isn’t so mundane anymore. Maguire sketches Laura with such honesty and empathy it’s impossible not to get sucked into her world, all of the subtle beauty and the hardships of it. The Wild Winter Swan is full of potent holiday magic – it’ll make you long for those sparkling, snow-covered days. – Sylvie Weissman FORTUNE FAVORS THE DEAD Not since Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin have I so enjoyed the page-turning yarn of a New York private detective and a wisecracking sidekick! In Fortune Favors The Dead, Stephen Spotswood simultaneously nails the tone of classic detective stories and stands them on their head – because the brilliant gumshoe is Lillian Pentacost, a disabled middle-aged woman, and her sidekick Willowdean “Will” Parker, a gender-bending young circus performer with a sweet spot for the ladies. A delight from start to finish. Dare I hope this is the beginning of a series? – Jaye Lawrence

After Everett’s cellmate teaches him how to play guitar and encourages him to sing, Everett’s hip-swiveling, electrifying performance at a jailhouse concert leads to stardom. But fame quickly gives Everett an oversized ego, and only the loss of his voice and the loyalty of his friends as he struggles to sing again teach Everett to appreciate his good fortune. Runtime: 96 minutes. Not rated. Program is presented as created. It may include outdated cultural depictions and/ or references. Tickets: $8, available at 952-985-4640 or lakevilleareaartscenter.com.

Did You Know... our website is packed with stuff to read?! By Grier Lawton

When the time comes that you’re ready to venture out to see a local musician, take in a play, learn to throw pottery, or perhaps find out more about native bugs in a virtual class, but you don’t have a paper copy of The Entertainment Guide, check out the Guide online at entertainmentguidemn.com. The online edition has heaps of information sectioned out by Happenings, Places and Read the Guide. Here’s a quick walk-through: Happenings is where all events, art exhibits, classes and clubs, comedy events, farmers’ markets, festivals and fairs, games, karaoke/open mic/jam sessions, live music and theater events are traditionally listed. Granted there are fewer such live events in the Age of Covid-19, but you will find such things as beginning watercolor classes at Lakeville Area Arts Center, wine bingo at Next Chapter Winery in New Prague, Open Stitch Zoom with Northfield Yarn, even Fright at the Farm at Willow’s Keep Farm in Zumbrota. You can search for events by location or find listings by date. Places is where all the local establishments that host all of the events are listed. EG staff scours the region to find all the cool and interesting stuff going on. Ever been to Alexander Faribault House? Or ‘Czech’ers Sports Bar Patio in New Prague? What about Winjum’s Shady Acres on the lake in Faribault? Or the State Theatre in Zumbrota? You’ll find them all (and so many more) listed under Places. This is a great section to peruse if you’re new to the area or just haven’t been out and about to discover what an amazing region we live in.

36 content@entertainmentguidemn.com

Under Read the Guide, you’ll find Art & Music features, back issues, Body READ NOW & Mind features, Historic Happenings columns, Real Estate, Home & Garden Art & Music features and Book Reviews Features from Content Bookstore in READ NOW Northfield. The Historic Happenings columns by READ NOW Susan Hvistendahl are a plethora of information about Northfield and Features St. Olaf and Carleton colleges. Did you know, for READ NOW Real Estate example, that 10,000 people packed Laird Stadium at Home & Garden Carleton College in 1952 to Features see soon-to-be President Eisenhower during his visit Book Reviews here? Or that the amazing READ NOW and oh-so-talentedeven-now-at-98 actress/ comedian/entertainer Betty White, who played Rose from St. Olaf, Minn., on Golden Girls, came to St. Olaf College in 1992 and wrote to Hvistendahl about her visit later for a column? Take time to read Hvistendahl’s past columns. She writes about a lot of truly interesting events. You’ll learn good stuff. This reminds me that there’s a Sounds of St. Olaf concert series online, too. This biweekly curated program, drawn from the extensive video archive of choral and instrumental performances of St. Olaf music ensembles, is available on the Entertainment Guide website. Ensemble conductors lend insights into the music selected for each week’s concert. Be sure to check out the Art & Music features. In addition to a ton of features on local art and music, you can find an online repository of local radio/podcast audio. For example, you can listen to The Count, an audio-only adaptation of Dracula, put on by Northfield Middle School students. These students worked so hard to rehearse a play that was to premiere on stage last March but, like so many other performances, presentations and events, it was canceled just before opening night. Not wanting to lose out completely, the kids recorded an audio adaptation for audiences. © The Entertainment Guide

Also available on our website are vintage radio dramas recorded by pre-teens and teens. The first in the series is an episode from Challenge of the Yukon, a serial play from the 1930s, presented by actors and actresses, ages 11-13, using the Zoom platform. The cast is really talented and a joy to experience. Also, check out Curtain Call with Kosmo and Pauline, a new podcast with a couple of serious theater fans talking “all things theater-related.” The first podcast features an interview with director, producer, teacher and actress Rachel Haider, a Northfield theater icon. I haven’t met Pauline

or Kosmo yet, but I know their work, and I’m a serious fan of theirs. I’m sure you will be, too. Individually Kosmo also has his own YouTube show, Some Good News Northfield, which you can find on the site, and Pauline hosts Musician Talk, a weekly KYMN radio show in which she interviews local musicians, which is archived on The Entertainment Guide website. But don’t stop yet, there’s more to discover. Back Issues is pretty self-explanatory, but I do want to point out that there have been some really awesome covers over the years. The Guide has been around since 2005, and while you won’t find all those issues online, you can go back to July 2016 to check out back issues. With the recent release of the new Entertainment Guide mobile app, you can keep The Entertainment Guide in your pocket. And it’s way better than that fuzzy piece of gum or the weird rock you’ve got in there. The EG App gets you all the stuff I mentioned right at your fingertips wherever you are. Super cool. So, go check out entertainmentguidemn.com and The EG app, then get your venturing on track and discover all the amazing entertainment available in the area!

HISTORIC HAPPENINGS By Susan Hvistendahl Column originally published in the November 2011 Guide. More Historic Happenings available at entertainmentguidemn.com

“Way Down Upon the Cannon River” The Norths’ First Year in Northfield Plans were made in December of 1855 for the family of John North to move south from St. Anthony to the Cannon River where he had founded a town and was establishing a mill site. North had spent much time away from his family to set up this new town and they were looking forward to being together once more. Ann North wrote to her parents back in New York that two of their children, Emma and Georgie, started singing, “Way Down Upon the Cannon River,” adjusting the words from the popular 1851 Stephen Foster song about the Swanee River, in merry anticipation of the move. John and Ann North had come from New York to Minnesota in 1849. A lawyer by trade, he introduced a bill as a member of the territorial legislature to found the University of Minnesota in 1851 and organized the Minnesota Republican party in 1855. With the financial backing of his father-in-law, Dr. George Loomis, North began exploring opportunities for land development.

sawmill, gristmill and a bridge. On Aug. 15, 1855, Ann North wrote to her brother George that North had sold his interest in Faribault, “So all his interest on the Cannon River will be at Alexander, which will be much more pleasant for him.” A town was platted and Ann North wrote to her parents on Sept. 9, “I see no reason why they may not make money as fast as they cut the lumber for there is such a demand and such a scarcity. We now hope to get to living down there ourselves.” Her brother George’s arrival to St. Anthony from New York was a boon to the Cannon River project. George kept the books, helped with surveying the town site and accompanied North to the Cannon River while also making trips on his own. On Sept. 16, North wrote to Dr. Loomis back in New York about the progress of the mill, sending a statement of expenses of the sawmill and dam and lower story of the gristmill. It came to “nearly or quite one thousand dollars more than I expected.” The sawmill was not yet running but North wrote, “There is an immense demand for lumber and it commands a high price. I never thought half as well of our enterprise as now; it looks more promising every day.” On Sept. 23, 1855, Ann wrote to her parents: “Mother asks why I desire to go to Cannon River to live. You know, to a woman like me, the PLACE of one’s residence matters little, so she can be with her own family, and have the conveniences of a home.” Friends were moving away from St. Anthony and, she said, “more than all the rest” her husband “is obliged to spend more than half his time, and that of itself is sufficient reason for me to want to go there to live. And George will be there which is no small inducement to me.”

In October, John North’s sister Clara arrived in Minnesota to help Historical Society Collection. with the family (a third child, John, had been born in September). Ann wrote to her parents, On Jan. 4, 1855, North wrote to Dr. Loomis that he had made a trip down to the “beautiful and very fertile” Cannon “We have had five bushels of crab apples from our orchard at Cannon River. From less than one bushel, we have made River valley, where “the crab-apple and wild plum grow about 35 pounds of VERY NICE jelly.” in abundance and furnish fruit to the settlers.” He said that settlers were rapidly coming in and he envisioned The first mention of the name of the new town North had “flourishing towns and cities” between St. Anthony and founded came in a letter of Dec. 9, 1855, when Ann wrote Iowa, with fortunes to be made. Accordingly, North sold his that her husband “has now been gone to Cannon River – law practice early in 1855 to devote himself to what he called Northfield – nearly two weeks…The mill is now running, “outdoor business” (real estate). He became a proprietor of and he is driving every thing there as fast as he can.” the Faribault Townsite Company, purchasing a quarter share Ann was anxious to be reunited with him, saying she was of that town for $1,000. In March Ann wrote to her parents “heartily sick” of this way of living apart. about North’s “Cannon River hobby,” and how he “even Ann wrote to her grandmother on Dec. 23 that the family talks that we may sometime live at Faribault.” was packing to move, with a large wardrobe sent to But a place north of Faribault then known as Alexander’s Northfield.

think we shall enjoy living there very much.” She added that her husband “likes his business down there.” Ann knew it would be quite an undertaking moving with three young children in such cold weather, “but I do not mind it yet.” She reported that daughter Emma had learned a little verse which “helps me to keep her straight” when she wants to misbehave: “I must not speak a naughty word, I must not tell a lie; I must not contradict; and make my little brother cry.” Ann praised her two sons, commenting on “Georgie’s winning ways” and saying Johnnie “is the most sociable baby of his age I ever saw.”

and faces and some have been frozen to death – And in the midst of all that, we moved down here with these three little children.” She wrote that their house was 18 by 30 feet with a 10 by 30 lean-to. The house faced west, with a view of the mill, river and woods on the other side.

Within their first month of residence, North called a meeting where 20 men contributed almost $300 toward building a schoolhouse which could be used for religious services and public gatherings. (Completed in the fall, the schoolhouse was dedicated on Nov. 16, with Ann North singing and playing the Ann wrote to her parents on melodeon at what she described Dec. 30 that they were still in as “quite an enthusiastic and St. Anthony. The excessive cold a very pleasant meeting.” She had stopped progress on the proudly wrote that it was the house being built in Northfield. “first school-house in Rice Ann North circa 1855.

North built an icechair for Ann and the baby Johnnie. The 40-mile trip took a house, using sawdust from the mill for packing. When the day and a half. gristmill started operations, the North family helped sew John North wrote to Dr. Loomis on Jan. 6, 1856, “We are here comfortably settled in our new home, which you may have heard before this bears the euphonious cognomen of Northfield.” North said, “We are having the coldest winter I have ever seen in the Territory. But we do not freeze and we enjoy ourselves finely.” North noted the thermometer stood at 23 degrees below zero upon their arrival. Three stoves were needed for the sub-zero temperatures. North wrote, “Our mill keeps going night and day through the coldest of the weather.”

sacks for the ground corn. (By September Ann could write, “The teams are coming constantly, with wheat for the Mill. They are obliged to run nights to keep up.”) A post office was transferred from Fountain Grove to Northfield so that Ann could write to her grandmother on May 15, “Letters to us may be directed to Northfield, Rice Co., Minn.” The Norths wrote “puffing letters” about their growing town back to friends in New England, attracting mostly Republicans who favored abolition, education and temperance, as John and Ann did.

As usual, North needed money from Dr. Loomis, since “Our expenses this fall have been enormous and I have had to be always ready with the money to keep things going.” The accounting of expenses that North enclosed came to a total of $4,365. This included the cost of making and holding a claim, cost of a survey, payment to a millwright, $620 for timber, $200 for plank, $100 for nails, spikes, tools and iron and $200 for “my expenses 20 trips to Cannon River.” Ever-optimistic, North added, “Things look promising here and I have no doubt we shall do well,” with George working into the business “finely,” doing “better than I ever expected.”

The new schoolhouse also served as the first meeting place for the Lyceum Society on Oct. 1, 1856. The minutes book (preserved at the Rice County Historical Society in Faribault) set forth the goal: “Believing in the utility of societies for intellectual improvement, we, citizens of Northfield, agree to unite ourselves into an association for the purpose of establishing a reading room, circulating library and debating society.”

Ann could not write her first letter to her parents until a week after their arrival, explaining, “You see our ink has been frozen.” A good many people have “frozen hands, feet

44 content@entertainmentguidemn.com

On Oct. 12, 1856, Ann wrote her parents about the Lyceum: “We have a Lyceum recently organized and they have already sent off $50 for newspapers and periodicals to furnish a public Reading Room – Is that not doing pretty well for our little place?” She added, “They intend having a library too, in the Reading Room- – Now, father, there is an opportunity for you to immortalize yourself by making a

donation of books and papers to the society.” At the meeting Ann said she joined others in singing, “Cheer up, cheer up, persons of toil.” Ann, who had given piano lessons in St. Anthony, wrote, “They are quite determined to have music, and it seems necessary for me to help.” On Oct. 25 she wrote to her grandmother, “They had the subject of woman’s rights up for discussion at the last meeting – It was discussed with much spirit – We sang ‘Life is but a strife’ and ‘There’s a good time coming.’” (The minutes book said the topic was “Resolved that woman is entitled to all the social and political rights employed by man,” and “The society with the assistance of the ladies decided the question in the affirmative.”) As the new year of 1857 approached, North could write proudly to Dr. Loomis on Dec. 6, “Our town is prosperous as ever. We now have 40 families in the village.” The Norths had moved into a new house in October (which Ann called their “mansion,” with the outside “all clapboarded and painted white,” and a piazza high from the ground on a hillside). On Jan. 11, 1857, North wrote Dr. Loomis that he had contracted for “the building of a block of Stores up near the Liberty Pole which will when completed cost not much short of $4,000.” Stage proprietors planned to build a stable and make Northfield a dinner stop in the coming summer en route from Hastings. (North also built the American House Hotel which in 1867 became the first home of Northfield College, later renamed Carleton after a

benefactor. A Lyceum Building was also built in 1857 which remains as Northfield’s oldest building at 109 E. 4th St.) “Everything looks prosperous for the coming year,” North wrote, “except that there is some opposition from our neighbors at Waterford and Lewiston against the annexation of those Townships north of us.” He told Dr. Loomis the Territory was united to become a state. (North went on to lead the Republican wing of the Minnesota constitutional convention, supporting suffrage for women and blacks.) Life was good “way down upon the Cannon River” at the end of that first year the North family lived in Northfield. But the economic downturn called “The Panic of 1857” lay ahead, a time of economic uncertainty which affected North’s plans for the community. In May of 1860 North, chairman of the Minnesota delegation to the Republican National Convention in Chicago, was one of those who made a trip by rail to call on Lincoln in Springfield to notify him of his nomination. By the summer of 1861, the Norths were gone from Northfield. John North had been appointed by Lincoln to be Surveyor General in Nevada Territory. And the town John North had founded braced for the exigencies of the Civil War. Transcriptions of the correspondence of John and Ann North were made available to Susan Hvistendahl by Carol McPheeters and Alice Larsen of the Ard Godfrey Restoration of the Women’s Club of Minneapolis. Copies of these invaluable transcriptions can now be found at the Northfield Historical Society.
