North Country Anvil, Inc. (Winona, Minn.).

The North Country Anvil was a literary-political magazine founded and published in southern Minnesota by Jack Miller as an alternative journalistic venture opposed to the establishment press. North Country Alternatives, Inc., the magazine's publishing house, was organized in Millville in 1971. The first issue of the magazine appeared in June 1972. In 1980 the enterprise reorganized under the name North Country Anvil, Inc., and in the mid-1980s the publishing venture moved to Winona. The magazine attracted a number of prominent Minnesota political activists and writers, among them Meridel Le Sueur, James M. Youngdale, Patricia Hampl, John T. Bernard, Sigurd Olson, Ellery Foster, and Kenneth Tilsen. Publication continued until 1989.
