In reply to Lookoom.Though his business was a failure, (so was Teddy Roosevelt's attempt at cattle ranching,) the Marquis did a lot for North Dakota creating a town in his wife's name that is a crown jewel in the state. He was a colorful character in North Dakota history and deserves credit for that. :-)

At least he tried. I have the feeling that the US doesn’t often highlight failures, here it’s maybe easier because he was French 🙂

In reply to neihtn2012.As I recall, there were several fireplaces in that big house. I am sure what you note is correct. I don't recall any fireplaces that could be accessed from two rooms.
