Summer 2009 On-site learning in an unforgettable landscape

Home Page for Tom Isern This is the home page for Tom Isern, Professor of History & University Distinguished Professor, North Dakota State University. It is provides entry to a website comprising the courses I teach and other business pertinent to my work on campus. I also maintain a second website with a private Internet provider. That site comprises materials pertaining to the newspaper and radio feature, Plains Folk, and all manner of other business not necessarily pertinent to my work on campus. The front door to the site downtown is the Plains Folk Home Page.
