Papers, 1916-1976

The Henry R. Martinson Papers date from 1916-1976, and reflect both his enduring interests in the Labor Movement in North Dakota and also in his diverse literary and personal interests. Included is a typescript of his work, "Comes the Revolution," which details the history of the labor struggle and Socialist movement in North Dakota. The collection is arranged alphabetically by folder title and chronologically within each folder (when possible). Some of the material in the collection was photocopied from the Institute of Regional Studies at North Dakota State University.
