In A Historian Guide to North Dakota Trivia, celebrated author Robert O. Petterson peels back the layers of the Peace State's serene surface to reveal a past that's anything but quiet. This is your backstage pass to North Dakota's most outrageous legends, untold tales, and quirky cultural gems-the kind of stuff you won't find in your average history textbook.

  • The real reason why Fargo isn't quite what Hollywood makes it out to be

  • How a town with fewer than 50 people became the center of a political firestorm
