1. Red River Flood of 1897, Moorhead, Minnesota
- Creator:
- Flaten, Ole E., 1854-1933
- Date Created:
- 1897-04
- Description:
- View is to the north from the Moorhead Manufacturing Company's Flour Mill on the Moorhead side of the river just south of the Main Ave bridge. The Main Ave bridge is visible in the foreground as is the Northern Pacific Railway Bridge weighed down with locomotives and box cars to keep the bridge from washing away. In the distance at left can be seen steam tractors parked on the North Bridge weighing it down. These tactics worked as no bridges were lost during the flood.
