Martha Nygard Correspondence: 1965-1973

The vast majority of the correspondence is related to flood control issues in the Souris River Valley. Included are letters sent to and from Lloyd Nygard, dated from 1963-1991, as well as undated correspondence. Nygard was a frequent letter writer who corresponded with anyone who would listen regarding flood control. North Dakota politicians serving in the United States Congress, North Dakota Governors, and several United States Presidents were frequent recipients of Nygard's letters. Correspondence written by Nygard as an officer of a specific organization, such as Citizens United to Save the Valleys, was filed with the material for that organization (see Series 2). Several letters sent and received by other members of the Nygard family are also included.
