The threat of inclement weather largely thwarted baseball teams' plans to attend the Carrington/SNR Jamboree April 23 and 24, but the Black Sox managed to split their two Saturday afternoon games.

We humans need a break from time to time. The constant barrage of information and emotion can be difficult. In the 21st century, we often equate a leisurely break with a dose of Netflix. A century prior however, people were finding exciting entertainment options through print media. This week, I share two printed games that people of the early 20th century enjoyed. Both of these 'games' were donated by early Eddy County Museum board member Elsie Kerr. Elsie's collection includes over 50 media...
On Jan. 20 and 21, 1904, J.R. Winslow was in Carrington on legal matters. On Jan. 21, H.J. Radtke arrived from Sparta, Wisconsin, to visit his brother W.E. Radtke and family. That evening, Imson & Edgar’s Ideals played in the Opera House. They also performed on the evenings of Jan. 22 and 23, as well as a 2 o’clock matinee on Jan. 23. That evening in Sheyenne, a large group of the members of the Sheyenne Lutheran Church and many other residents of that community gathered at the Baptist Church, and then under the leadership of T.N.

As the guilty verdict in the murder trial of Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin revealed, she was “filming” not only an American tragedy in real time, but the most impactful civil rig...

I can recall my first smallmouth bass as clearly as the blue skies of the late spring day on which it came to my jig. Sitting on the shoreline casting the eighth-ounce ballhead out over the small muddy point on the Sheyenne River just a few days after school had let out for the summer, an endless supply of slime-covered bullheads came to the nightcrawler-tipped offering I dragged up the break. In the middle of the two dozen or so spiny creatures was the odd sensation of a non-circular dash by...
The warming waters of spring herald a movement for largemouth bass into the shallows of the lakes and reservoirs in which they reside. Often, those dark bottoms releasing the first green-and-red curls of lily pads or sandy stretches with verdant spikes of emergent reeds and those locations' elevated temperatures are the first sites that largemouth stake out as the spawning season sets up in the coming weeks. While getting in casting range without spooking these fish can sometimes be a...
