Pirates On The Prairie

A True Story by Eric Bergeson

 

Pirates On The Prairie by Minnesota native and published author Eric Bergeson, tells the true story of a Minnesota community of 590 who rallied around a handful of larger-than-life, local athletic heroes in the mid 1950s. Excelling in both basketball and baseball, these high-schoolers thrilled their townsfolk with their near-miraculous feats on the court and on the field.   Pirates On The Prairie takes readers back to a time when the small community of Halstad, Minnesota followed its teams through two state tournaments and relives the excitement generated by a group of guys who became the "darlings of Minnesota."   The tense, play-by-play account of the team’s performances will engage any sports fan.   The vivid picture of small-town and rural life in the early ‘50s will teach the young while stirring deep-seated memories in those who actually lived this kind of life.   Pirates on the Prairie Ordering Information Pre-order Pirates on the Prairie by clicking the button below or by calling 1.515.278.1292. $17.95 + shipping & tax (no sales tax outside of Iowa)     Pirates on the Prairie Signings & Interviews Call 515.278.1292 or email Clarence Stennes for interview requests and Pirates on the Prairie book signing information.  Expected publication is May 2008.   Pirates on the Prairie Blog Visit the Pirates on the Prairie Blog to read forward excerpts and articles about Pirates on the Prairie.
