Associate Professor Chris Harper’s new book, “Flyover Country: Baby Boomers and their Stories,” was released Dec. 6.

It examines several members of the Class of 1969 in Sioux Falls, S.D., including Harper and his rock band, The Trippers, which was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the South Dakota Rock and Roll Music Association in 2010. The book tells the stories of their lives and the impact they had on their town and their country.
