- Synopsis
- Fueled by ambition and pipe dreams, Fargo�s earliest residents created an entire city out of the dust of a flat, desolate prairie. Roberts Street might not exist if it weren�t for Matilda Roberts, a resourceful pioneer wife who encouraged her husband�s cousin to set up his law firm on that important downtown thoroughfare. O.J. deLendrecie generated so much success through his retail store that he was able to buy President Theodore Roosevelt�s ranch in western North Dakota. Oliver Dalrymple may have been the bonanza farm king, but the better manager was his rival, Herbert Chaffee of the Amenia and Sharon Land Company. Author Danielle Teigen reveals the intriguing true stories behind many of the most engaging characters and what continues to make the �Gateway to the West� unique.
