First Person: Minnesota at the Turn of the 20th Century

An episode from 11/27/20: A reading from Studs Terkel’s book, ⁠American Dreams: Lost & Found⁠. Here, Andy Johnson talks about his life in rural Minnesota at the turn of the twentieth century. The interview is also included in Terkel’s best-of volume, ⁠The Studs Terkel Reader⁠.
