Looking for copy of Osnabrock (Cavalier Co) book (Grand Forks, Dickinson: loan, purchase)

[jlk56]

Does anyone know where I might find a copy of ""The Spirit Lives On", Osnabrock, ND, 1887-1987" It was published by the Osnabrock Area Historical Book Committee. I cannot find anything on the Internet about this Historical Book Comm. or how to obtain a copy of this book. It was published in 1987.

Even if I could find it's original publisher, that might help.

If you don't need to OWN a copy, Worldcat.org shows that this title is owned by the following libraries:

North Dakota State University Library
Valley City State Library
Grand Forks Public Library
University of North Dakota
Alfred Dickey Public Library (Jamestown)
Dickinson State University Library

You can go to your local public library and request the book via InterLibrary Loan. Use this information to request the book: OCLC Number:16170024 OCLC # 16170024
The Spirit lives on : Osnabrock, ND, 1887-1987
by Osnabrock Area Historical Book Committee (N.D.);
Publisher: Osnabrock, N.D. : The Committee, 1987

Although many of the libraries may not circulate that title, at least one (probably the U of ND) should loan to you. If you don't need the whole book and just need info on one family surname or one community, put that in your request and the owning library will copy the appropriate pages for you and send them to your library.

If you need to own a copy of the book you might try contacting the Cavalier County Historical Society to ask if they know a source for purchase of the title. Here's their website:
Cavalier County: Museum at Dresden | Dresden Museum in Cavalier County, North Dakota. They amazingly also have a Facebook page (!) so you could probably also put a question on their page.

Osnabrock is a very cool little town. I looked it up myself to find out why all the streets are named for characters/places in The Wizard of Oz!

Did a little research on the book, because my neighbor who lives next door to me here at Lake Metigoshe is from the Osnabrock area (Concrete, ND). Low and behold there name is published in the book as well.
Found that information at: "The Spirit Lives On", Osnabrock, ND, 1887-1987
I believe they are still in la-la land, but I'll ask them when they wake up this morning if the book might be attainable....
