“What a joy to find a compact book filled with the stories of northern Minnesota’s lost towns! The author reminds us of the historical and cultural impact of vanished towns, now just a memory in history books and in the hearts of families who once called them home. Minnesota’s Lost Towns: Northern Edition is a tribute to the people who built a life out of very little and had the courage to move on and try again.” –Jill A. Johnson, author of Little Minnesota: 100 Towns Around 100

After several years of working in the public and private sector, doing everything from assembling Tonka Toy trucks (when they were made in America), working in a LP record distribution warehouse, serving in a variety of public governmental roles, managing a construction office, to becoming a social studies teacher at the age of forty-two, Rhonda is recently retired. Her passion for history, especially local and regional history, has resulted in the Minnesota’s Lost Towns series, which chronicles Minnesota used-to-be towns and communities. Readers can learn more about Rhonda and her exciting books at www.rhondafochs.weebly.com or at www.facebook.com/MinnesotasLostTowns
