North Dakota South Pacific

 

Roland C. Ytreeide grew up in North Dakota during the dust-bowl years of the Great Depression, and served his country on the aircraft carrier Saratoga during World War II.  He is also the father of author Arnold Ytreeide.

North Dakota South Pacific is a short account of those times: life on the farm as technology shifted from horses to machines; living through hail storms, snow storms, and hordes of grasshoppers; school in a one-room school-house; lefse baking on a wood stove; and then enlisting on December 8th, 1941; boot camp; shipping out; finding a good place to hang a hammock; liberties in exotic ports; and of course, battles, kamikazes, and a torpedo in the side of the ship.

This is not an autobiography of heroic deeds by a man who would one day become famous.  It's an autobiography of an average guy -- growing up in extraordinary times. 

Nostalgic for adults, perfect as an introduction to biographies for fourth graders and above.

It is really a great story which compell us to recall past memories of our four fathers in this new era.By recalling that heroic life we feel more braveness and firmness in our attitude as there is good combination with my study mcts certifications .I am really enjoying adventure of those heroic days with my study.

I felt this book was written especially for me! My father had Norwegian immigrant parents who farmed in rural North Dakota and he later entered the Navy in WWII and fought in the same general area as the author. It gave me tremendous insight into that period of my father's life, which has blessed me since he passed 5 years ago and never spoke much about the war. I am so thankful this story was brought to fruition before the memories escaped the author. Thank you!

Wow!
