Description
The witty, urbane, and agnostic Rolf Munson reluctantly agrees to take a position as minister in an isolated Minnesota town in order to please his devoutly religious new wife, Inez. Five years later, he has failed utterly as a preacher, he hates the rural life, and his marriage is falling apart. To make matters worse, he is deeply in debt and despised by the entire community - and his precocious, mentally-unbalanced 14-year-old pupil has developed a scandalous infatuation for him.
A sequel to the 1904 short story "Inez - How She Made Clear the Way," by the author's grandfather, Amos Groethe, a professor at St. Olaf University in Northfield, Minnesota and grandson of one of the first pioneers in the Dakota Territories, MINNESOTA is set in the year 1910, and written in his voice.
This volume - the first of five - includes Groethe's 1904 short story, "Inez," as well as a reprint of a 1931 newspaper article about his father, Ole Munson, which provides a fascinating, if politically-incorrect, account of pioneer life. It also includes a photo history of Amos Groethe and his family during the period which he spent as superintendent of schools in Rapid City, South Dakota in what was still a very wild West.
