In 1939, Krause began his association with Augustana University in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he taught and served as writer in residence. Starting in 1970, Krause served as the founding director of the Center for Western Studies at Augustana University.[4]

Herbert Krause won the Friends of American Writers Award in 1939 for the critically acclaimed Wind Without Rain. In June 1944 he was granted the University of Minnesota Regional Writing Fellowship in order to encourage his work on a renowned text, The Thresher which won a Book of the Month Club selection.[5]

Center for Western Studies

While at Augustana, Krause promoted the preserving the heritage of the American Midwest and founded the Center for Western Studies to increase the publication of important books about the Great Plains. Krause encouraged his students to write fiction and poetry about the men and women who settled in South Dakota.[6]
