Muriel Henrickson’s story is woven into the fabric of North Dakota’s Norwegian immigrant heritage, where hard work, faith, and quiet resilience shaped generations. In Dust Yourself Off — The Gravel Road to a Good Life_,_ her son, Tom Sandhei, traces her life from a childhood steeped in the traditions of Fort Ransom’s Norwegian farming community to the hardships and triumphs that tested her strength. Like so many of her time, Muriel balanced the customs of the old country with the realities of the American prairie. Sandhei’s book, and his upcoming talk, offer a glimpse into the endurance and spirit that defined her life.
