Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Charles Losk Papers consists entirely of a photocopy of Mr. Losk's handwritten reminiscence complied in 1947/48 and covering the period from 1905 to 1947. It was hand printed in a 1948 diary and is 375 pages in length. Mr. Losk wrote on the top of some pages a summary phrase describing the contents on that particular page. These headings have been transcribed into a ‘table of contents’ that is available in folder one with the finding aid.
The Reminiscence Series contains is a very good, detailed account of the experiences of a Jewish immigrant group coming to America and particularly North Dakota. He describes life in Russia, the reasons for leaving, the journey to Anamoose, North Dakota and then on to Williston and homesteading in McKenzie County. He documents not only his life but of all who were in the group and how they worked closely together. Mr. Losk either had a very good memory or had personal papers from which to compile the reminiscence. The first 203 pages cover up to their departure from Watford City, North Dakota. The remainder deals mainly with an extensive trip Mr. and Mrs. Losk made to the West Coast and the Southwest.
