Augustana University Connections Help Revive, Celebrate Famous Giants in the Earth Novel for 100th Anniversary

In preparation of the 100th anniversary of Ole Rølvaag’s novel and telling the story of the region, Augustana is celebrating Giants in the Earth in a big way. The theme of this year’s Dakota Conference, “Settling and Resettling the Plains” isn’t a coincidence, but a deliberate way for the CWS to celebrate the bicentennial of the Norwegian emigration to America, which began in 1825, as well as the anniversary of Rølvaag’s novel. The Ole Rølvaag Writing Cabin, where Rølvaag wrote Giants got a facelift in time for the 100th-year celebration — viewable to the public during the Dakota Conference.
