summary
On Good Ground was first published in 1951. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
Besides providing a vivid yet scholarly account of a religious order, this book reflects much of the regional history of the area where the nuns have done their work. The order maintains the College of St. Catherine and numerous other institutions in Minnesota and North Dakota.
