Carolyn & Harold

Territory Historians

We’re Carolyn and Harold, Territory historians, racing the sunset to put this country on paper before the stories ride off for good.

Along the trail we’ve made the kind of friends a soul brags about: a straight-shooting cowboy, a sharp-tongued riverboat first mate, a quiet Dakota winyan, and a dozen more.

Ask Buck what night guard feels like. Ask Samuel about the cold river water. This ain’t a museum. This is a living Territory, and the door’s wide open.
