Driftless is an historical novel. As such, I have attempted to represent the place and period as much as possible. As a companion to my new book, I have made a Pinterest board to illustrate something of the time and the setting for this story. Rural southeast Minnesota in the 1940's and 50's.
A family dairy farm in 1948 is the primary setting of the book, Driftless. The farm lies atop Hawk Ridge (fictitious name) within the southeastern MN bluff country and is part of the Norwegian-American community there. The family in this story milk Brown Swiss cows, raise pigs, chickens and they use workhorses to farm. Small children roam the farm and play in the woods barefoot. They attend a one-room country schoolhouse in rural MN.
