Jon K. Lauck Signing The Interior Borderlands

On August 10th, from 10am-12pm, Jon Lauck will be at the store signing and speaking about his newest book. The Interior Borderlands contains a number of smoothly written essays about the Midwest. It is a very unique book and worth reading.

Where does the Midwest end and the Great Plains begin? And does it matter?

The authors of essays in this latest collection from the Center of Western Studies believe such questions are important to understanding how regional identity forms and persists–or erodes and even disappears.

Jon Lauck is a native of Madison, South Dakota who earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Iowa and his law degree from the University of Minnesota. He is the author of several books, including a history of early South Dakota titled Prairie Republic and a book on Midwestern history titled The Lost Region.
