    Those of you who read the author's Prairie Rebel: The Public Life of William Lemke rightfully can expect that this will be a well-researched and attention-holding book. Usher Burdick was born 21 Feb 1879 near Owatonna, Minn., and played a leading role in North Dakota's political history from his first tem in the Legislature beginning in 1907 till he finished his tenth term in Congress in 1959. The account of the tumultuous politics of North Dakota during the Non-Partisan League days and on through the Depression years in this book is intriguing, and while Usher Burdick had his oddities and failings he was pretty consistent in holding the affections of the liberal (as well as the isolationist) wing of the electorate during the years. The reader will find that the politics of North Dakota makes the political history of most other states seem pretty tepid. People who enjoy this book should also read History of North Dakota by Elwyn B. Robinson and North Dakota: A Bicentennial History, by Robert P. Wilkins et al.
